CEREMONIES AT DEDICATION ARE FULL OF COLOR Absence of President Did Sot Mar Occasion Very Much. By CONSTANCE DREXEL. WASHINGTON, May 23—Those who thought the National Woman's Tarty had finished Its self-oppointed task when suffrage vras granted to women were surprised at the colorful ceremonies marking the dedication of new headquarters. The National Woman's Tarty proposes to go right on struggling for rights of women, beginning with the attainment of full equality under the law. That the President sent word half an hour before the ceremonies began that he would not be present did not seem to mar the program. In fact, Mrs. Belmont and Miss Paul decided not to have his letter of regret read so the element of disappointment might be eliminated as far as possible. Speaking for the organization. Miss Paul said afterward no explanation except that contained in the President's letter had been available. The police had word of the President's coming ana had made arrangements for his arrival. Yesterday secret service tneu from the White House had been there to look over the ground, a precaution was taken when the President is to appear in public. “We did the courteous thing and asked the President of the United States to be present Ht our dedication," was Mbs Paul’s statement. “He*accepted our Invitation .and we regret exceedingly that he was not here. We have no explana tion to offer, nor has Mrs. Battelie, who obtained his consent to be here.” In giving out the President's declination, the National Woman's Party also gave out his acceptance, received on Dec. 23. It reads: The White House. Washington, Dec. 22. 1021. My Dear Mrs. Battelie—l am writ- I lug to confirm the appointment made by the President to attend the dedi- ! cation and the laying of the corner I stone of the building of the National Woman's Party, at 3 o'clock Sunday j afternoon. May 21, 1022. Sincerely yours, (Signed 1 GEORGE B. CHRIST TAN, JS, j S'xretnry to the President. Mrs. John Gordon Batei’e, Chairman Committee on Arrangements. National Woman's Party, Washington, I>. C. The President's second litter read as follows: k The White House, Washington. I>. C. May 2d. 1022. My Dear Mrs. Battelie—When you invited .me, many weeks ago. to be in attendance at the dedication of the national headquarters of the National j Woman's Party. t<> be held on Sundya.

I share with you and your asso- ; dates a rejoicing in the enfranchlsenient of the women of the United States, and ! very truly wisti that the larger opportunity for American womanhood will b* marked by ihe highest ideals. Id' y patriotism, no. ble inspirations and great good to our common country. Very sincerely yours , (Signed.) WARREN O. h.' t ' PIXG - Mrs. J. G. Battelie, New Willard Hotel, Washington, I). C. ihe Presiaem uad not agreed to speak, only to be present and bring greetings to be placed in the corner stone.

Some w nderv-d wbr his letter was not used inst a.!. Certainly he could not hate expressed a higher resolve for the future of any Organization than was contained in the last paragraph. Surprisingly few comments were heard about the President’s absence, as no one had expected him to make an address. It was thought the possibility of the National Woman's Party attempting to j become a separate political party, as expressed jn an exclusive interview to the Public Ledger by O. It i\ Belmont, donator of the headquarter*, might have had something to do with the President's change of mind. Among other leaders of the organisation, how ever. Mrs. Belmont’s Idea is not very seriously, for th" present at least. It is known, too. the President has been criticised by o'her women's organizations and by women of tbe Republican national executive committee for having accepted the Invitation in the first place, because thye think he ought to go only to political organizations that are Republican. However, the ceremonies were fortified today by two very prominent members of the Republican party, both of whom smiled genially during Mrs. Belmont’s address. Neither Senator Curtis, Repub- j liean whip and chairman of the Rules Committee, who has always been the i friend of suffrage, or Representative : Fess of Ohio, chairman of the Republic- j an Congressional Committee, stoned to be in the least afraid of anything the National Woman's Tarty would try for in t{ie future. "It's the ladies, God bless ’em,” seemed t-e their attitude. Both Senator Curtis and Representative Fess made brief speeches of congratulation and deposited greetings In the open corner stone. Senator auwaj <>f Arkansas. Democratic national committee member, was the chosen Representative of the Demo- j eratio party. lie also made a brief ad- j dress and deposited a greeting. Mrs. Belmont said in part: "We are here today for two great rur- j poses: First, to acclaim the acceptance : into political life of an organization body of women : second, to lay the corner stone? of the first women's political parliament in the world. • The existing political parties eater to j and accept the woman's ballot, but In no : way is he- Influence or her point of view ; considered. "A belief in the need of higher, stand- j ards in the body politic: a belief in the j ,ned of a more intimate knowledge of I he requirements of the human family: a d'etermination to come before the Gnvernik.g powers as dictators, not as beggars. I uuade the formation of the Woman's IParty a necessity. We have placed our I (standards very high. With God's help ; five shall attain it.” / As for the rest of the program. Bishop ; I John William Hamilton delivered the in- i J vocation. Miss Gail I.ntighlin of San Francisco spoke on “Meaning of the Headquarters:” Miss Maud Younger received the headquarters on behalf of the Worn- ’ an’s Party. Mrs. Lydlg Hoyt of New York spoke for the State and professional ' delegations who were In the pro<-esslnn | carrying banners, and anew woman's j charter on/lining principles enunciated j by Susan B.

To forget the bitter troubles of her domestic iife. LUCINDA DRUCE accepts the invitation to visit the New York studio of the famous movie queen, ALMA DALEY. The visit Is suggested by HARRY LONTAINE. who hopes to revive his fortune by forming a motion picture company in California. On the ' trip to the studios iu Ninth Avenue. : Lucinda muses over the break with ' her husband, BELLAMY. Wealth, youth, and beauty had failed to bring happiness to their Fit'lh avenue home after live years of married life. Bellamy's heavy drinking and promiscuous flirtations had destroyed her early love for him. And now. RICHARD DAUBENEY, her old sweetheart, had returned to New York. At the studio, arrangements were made | for the members of the party to pose bei fore the camera. CHAPTER IX—Continued. And Mr. Willing was to understand that these were to be regular tests and j no monkey business; he was to see that someone with plenty of know-how Helped the ladies make up; after which he was i to shoot the party as a whole in some little scene or other, in addition to mak- ! iug individual close-ups. A compliment signalized their screen debut; the presence of Miss Daley—“in person"—composed, hospitable, showing every anxiety to make their tests successful. "I thought it would be nice If we could all have tea." Miss Daley explained —“make a regular little scene of it.'' “I'm sure that would be delightful." replied Lucinda, suspended Judgment | melting into liking even iu those first j few mini tes. Miss Daley was tactful enough to | make her guests forget themselves and \ the trial to come, as they took their; places—and were served with tea by ac- j tor-waiters In correct livery. All the ! same. Lucinda -noticed that their hostess ingeniously maneuvered to a central position in the foreground, where she sat full face to the camera this being by far her best phase. And Just before the! lights Maxed up, the girl launched into I a spirited account of her passage-at arms 1 with King Laughlin. | Clever actress that she was. M ! ss Daley; extemporized a star part for berseif by rising without warning and announcing that she would have to run and chayFc for the scenes to be photographed. ■ “I'll try to hurry and try o get —eady before you go," she said, shaking hands all round with charming grace" 1 ” n * don't see you again, it's l- n - llst Wol }' derful to meet you all, hope this isn't good by forever!", , The bank lights his S nt and thP camera st illed its s t-uttering. “NIC- little see: sai,i Mr r,;, P- ,n ' tereeprirg Lucir‘ ll: * as she llft SBt- ' Goin' to S cr-vcn pretty.

The cameraman grinned sheepishly and proffered j a confident hand. “No tern-ament, no j funny business about Jack, Mrs. Druce. !

"Her and vou registered like a mil-

lion dollars." Nevertheless the little fillup administered to her s.-if esteem made Lucinda feel more contented: it deepened her in terest in the business in hand. On the point of leaving. Culp put in a hasty appearance and insisted on cs : porting Lucinda to the dour. "Lls'n, Mrs. liruce," he abruptly volunteered: "Jack says your test's going to turn out great. That’s just what b • said—‘like a million dollars.' And 1 been thinkin - * * * I was speakin' It over with Mrs. Culp in her dresslugroem, d'y'see, and she's strong for it, says she'd be tickled to pieces. 1 was thinkin' maybe you’d like to try goln’ itito pitchers.

But thank you ever so much—and please thank Mrs. Culp for j me, too.” “Well,” Culp said reluctantly, holding the street door, "if that's the way you feel about it—well, of course—G'dnight, Mrs. Druce, and pleas't'mect you.” Crossing to her car. Lucinda experienced a vagary of vivid reminiscence. Just for art instant the clock was turned | back for her a dozen years and more, j she was again a 11 1 r 1 • girl, a child bring- 1 ing dazed eyes of drum from the warm and scented romance of a matinee, her thrilled perceptions groping mutinously ; toward reconciliation with the mysterious verities of streets mantled in blue twilight. That passed too quickly, too soon she was Lucinda Druce once more, grown up and married, disillusioned. Notwithstanding that she drove direct- : ly home, pausing only to drop Dauber. 'y at his club and the Lontaines at their hotel. The telephone rang in the boudoir. The maid answered for her, and cam° to report Mr. Druce had called tip to say he wouldn\ be dining at home that night as he was detained by a “conference." Without looking, Lucinda knew that the woman's eyes were demure, her lips . twitching. Her just anger of that afternoon recurred with strength redoubled. On leaving her bath Lucinda delayed only long enough to shrug into a dressing gown before going to the telephone, call Daitheney and make at* engagement . for the I CHAPTER X. At first glance, the huge main room of the Palais Royal seemed less fro quented by clients than by waiters, but the influx of the former was constant, and when a gang of Incurable ntcl..maniacs crashed, bhired and whanged Into a jazz foxtrot the oval dunce floor was . quickly hidden by swaying couples. For some minutes Lucinda sat looking out over without seeing these herded dancers, only aware of the shifting swirl of color and the hypnotic Influence of savage music, her thoughts far from this decadent adaptation of jungle orgies which sfie had come to witness. And presently a siniie began to flicker In the depths of her eyes. "Oh" she said, rousing when Daub- j beney uttered a note of Interrogation— . “I was thinking about this afternoon, remembering King Laughlln moping and ! mating In his magnificent delusion that, j he wts conducting an orchestra.” “You don't know about the handsomd • offer Mr. Culp made me, with his wife'#

approval. just as we were going away," she continued. Dobbin frowned. “What kind of an offer?” “To become a movie actress under the Culp banner, a sister-in-art to Alma Daley.” “Do you mean Culp actually had the impertinence—” “Oh, come!" Lucinda's amusement subsided. “Mr. Cux j was most kind, at least he meant to be. He said he, his wife £1 "I WAS THIN KIN' MAYn*jho ( ’' l) LIKE TO TRY GOIN' INTO rj/TCHKRS.’’ and his cameraman—whose he valiys more highly than anu director s—all agreed I had shown e-i Frent deal of promise; and that if I. cared to try it on, he's be glad to gD ,e nle a good part tn Miss Daley's ner-t picture, and if I mode good In Ih:it/ lle ' <l f,irra a company to sfsr me.” “What rot!” f "Very well, •'-'Obbln.

Missus Muskrat replied, “Every once in a while she gets new clothes!" “But she has no hands to make them with!" laughed Raggedy Andy "Does sumo kind creature make them tor her!"

As It is, Gertrude Gnrtcrsn ike has a hard time getting off her old ilothes, f... you see lnr new clothes are always in under the oid clothes!" 'How strange!" said Raggedy Ann. “You would think tti new clothes would be on the outside, like children's dresses, and then you would take off the oid dress and put out the new!" “That i probably the way children have to get their new clothe'!" laughed Missus Muskrat, “But Mother Nature plans it bett.tr. for her tiny creatures.

Yes, Indeed, my clothes are very smooth and light, but that is just the way I need them, so that I can wiggle nlong and not get fastened upon anything ami everything.” "Your dress is very pretty,” said Rag gedy Ann. “I think it is too.” Gerty Gartersnake laughed. “Mother Nature, In the far off beginning, took different flowers and made the first Gartersnake dress and that Is why our dresses are covered with such pretty red and yellow colors.

Says Inferiority Complex Is Reason Girls Flirt

BY MARIAN BALE. Why do girls flirt? Often the question has been raised by despairing swains, frantic husbands and irate fathers and mothers. Now the real truth is out. A girl flirts because she hag an inferiority complex! Here we have something to put our teeth in. This explanation comes from Andre Tridon. who has written several books on psychoanalysis, and who knows all tha complexes by their first names. "The inferiority complex Is developed in childhood," he told me. “The little girl in school, not particularly apt, soon believes she is mentally inferior. “The feminine instinct, which can always be relied on, warns her that if she Is ever going to attract attention it must be by some other means than her scholar shit> and mental attainments. “Then she begins to draw attention to herself by her curls or her engaging smilo or some physical attribute. And another flirt, gold digger, vamp or siren, is on th way. “A she grows older her complex matures. Subconsciously, she still believes ghe is inferior mentally. But she thinks if she can always be surrounded by uicn who seem to be madly in love with her.

Near the end of Its flret year a child will bear close watching. It *s always moving at this ago and may Lave a serious fall. Congenital deformities are sometimes curable by early operation. More attention should be given by par ents and physicians to complaints of “growing pains.” Often they are the first signs of a growing deformity. Prevention of deformities resulting from Infantile paralysis is largely a matter of preventing the disease itself, by quarantine, avoidance of crowds when tired or weak, and cleanliness during the prevalence of the disease. In early childhood proper posture, breathing exercises and avoidance of carrying heavy books and packages will prevent round or stoop shoulders and spinal curvature. Enlarged tonsils and decayed teeth often cause joint deformaties. Social diseases claim more than their share of serious Joint and bone diseases.

Our First Year Old Man Woos Flapper BY A BRIDE.

At the Main street station I found George Bradshaw patrolling the enusewny for auto traffic. A red-cap, near by, guarded two splendid pieces of baggage. Certainly a man with his tastes would appreciate a millionaire father-in-law! At first I thought I would go right up to George and tell him frankly I was there because Mr. Tearle had asked me to keep him and Bonny apart. And when Bonny arrived I'd let her storm, if she wanted to. And George could rage. But If it was in any person's power to dissuade that flapper I ought to make the effort. And if I couldn't, I’d wire Mr. Tearle to meet theru when they stepped from the train In New York. Either way, Bonny would be saved. So there was no particular sense in talking to G. B. before the c .lid arrived. I was a dull, eoe-ijonplac® little figure in the big crowd, rather uncomfortable, too. without my breakfast, Impatient to have It over. George B; dshuw grew conspicuously restless as the minute for the departure of the tra.n approached—and Bonny did not arrive. “And well may he worry," said I to Me. “J, suppose G. B. could coax a dozen beauties, of all ages, to run off with him, not another one with the millions he wants.” 1

orated with large French baskets of garden flowers tied with bows of tulle. The hostess was assisted by the executive board of the club, Mrs. \V. O. Cerrv, Mrs. I. L. Miller, Mrs. Earl Askran and Mrs 11. W. Haworth. This was the last meeting of the season, aiul every member had been asked to be present and bring a guest.

no one will notice this. She won't even notice it herself. N “She needs the constant assurance she is being admired and that she can charm men. She flirts because that is her way of getting what she must have" So you see, when a woman once gets a firm growth of inferiority complex the matter is out of her hands. Even if she wished to renounce her ways she couldn't. Her eojnplex wouldn't let her. However. going further into the matter. I learned that every one who amounts to anything has one. it Is the only thing that over made the race see any need for improvement. “With strong types, tho Inferiority complex spurs the Individual to greater mental activity,” Mr. Tridon explained. “The child who realizes she may not be a beauty, for instance, develops a charm of manner, and accomplishments that make her as much sought after as if she were a beauty. “A woman who herself Inferior socially oft-n develops into a splendid business or professional woman. “The inferiority complex and a negative personality make a flirt or a freakish person of some kind. The Inferiority complex and a positive personality make a social leader, an artist, a business or professional woman." So now, Cleopatra. Helen of Troy, and tho rest of you women who made history by your flirtations, we know why you did it! Your power started w hen you couldn’t get your lessons. After that you were merely the tools of your complexes!

The last belated traveler Jumped from the ruffning board of a taxi and rushed through the gates which clicked sharply behind him. And Bonny had not come! The crowd thinned, but G. B. was too preoccupied to noti -e me. Any one could see that he was mightily disappointed and nervous. Not until the train had pulled out did he hall a taxi and drive away. When he was out of sight I hurried to a telephone booth and called up the Tearle number. . “Mademoiselle is asleep, Mrs. Madison!” a maid replied to my question. “Are you sure, GinetteV This is important. Will you please go to Miss Tearle's room, open the door softly and bo quite sure whether or not she is there?” in five minutes Ginette was back with the Information that mademoiselle was sleeping soundly. T laughed as I hung up the receiver. Doubtless at that very moment her dapper suitor of 50 was raging in his hotel. “So much for a romance with nn irresponsible flapper!” ran my mental comment. “Blit good for Bonny! Site must have a saving remnant of her father's common sense.” But what had made her change her mind? Why had she played title unparalleled joke?—Copyright, 1022. (To Be Continued.)

CHILDREN HAVE RICH HERITAGE , STATES EXPERT But Says Much Still Can B Done to Guard Health of Infants. BY ADA E. SCHWEITZER, M. D„ Director of Infant and Child llj-giene < the State Board of Health. (Note —This is an extract from a tal made hy Dr.' Schweitzer at the Stat Health Exposition.) “From the standpoint of his healtl the Indiana child has a rich heritage. ‘•The old-fashioned seboolhouse ha given t place to the modern sauitar school building; the lack* of attention t •general health is being superseded by more scientific knowledge of physlolog; and by adequate health inspection. “In the last two or three years thf inculcation of health habits as a par of school routine has begun a practic* which will greatly decrease the preva ,len<-e of infectious diseases and wli bring (lie child to maturity In healtj and vigor. “Prior to school age, greatly increase! attention is being given to the nutritioi and development of the child, and, stil earlier, t> correct care of both mothe: and child during the prenatal periot and the period of lactation. “The child of today inherits all thi riches that science, art and experienc* of past generations have to offer conj coming his health agd growth. “A study of the laws of heredity em pfcasizes the need of careful selection i marriage. The effect on the child' health of tho prenatal condition of tb mother emphasizes tho necessity for ads quate prena: .1 care. “The prenatal influences most dealt able are good health of both parent freedom from overwork, excitement an worry on the parr of the mother. Man lives of both mothers and babies migl tie saved by a physician’s scientific cai and supervision during the prenata natal and postnatal periods. 4 "The infant needs nourishment, sleep, \ correct elimination, comfortable home, bed and clothing, and freedom from overhandling. "He needs to establish regular habits from his earliest Infancy. Many disturbances of nutrition and of nervous stability are due to failure to Inculcate correct habits in early infancy. “The baby as he grows older needs a gradual change from breast milk to food adapted to £is powers of assimilation and to bis period of growth. Cow's milk modified at first is important. Clean milk, free from infectious organisms, properly cared for and correctly modified is essential. Stimulants to growth found In fruit and vegetable juices ami in certain oils are Important. Fresh air and sunshine promote assimilation. Sleep, rest and exercise and work should be balanced. "Guarding the child from infections has in the past been too frequently limited to quarantine of house or premises, locking the door after the horse is stolen. “When we realize that the so-called common cold is a most prolific source of Infectious disease, more attention will be given to guarding the child against this enemy. So many of the acute infectious diseases start iu the guise of a common cold, that could wc prevent those “colds" we should eliminate many of them. “We have outlived the notion that children must be exposed to infectious disease that they may get it and “have it over with," but we still fall far short in protecting children from these diseases. There need be in Indiana no deaths from typhoid, from diptheria or from smallpox as science knows definitely how to prevent these diseases. Wt Indiana in 1'.120 lost 252 persons from typhoid, 15 from, smallpox and 35s from diphtheria, a totall of 055 deaths that might easily have been prevented. . Many persons become infected with tuberiAilosis in childhood liecause of contacts with infected or because of eating infected food. Herds of cattle might bo tested and milk may l>e pasteurized to prevent bovine type of tuberculosis Infectious in childhood. "Fersons who have cases of tuberculosis may lie kept from infecting others, yet Indiana lost iu 1920, 3.051 persons, adults and children, from tuberculosis. Children need clean homes, freedom from nagging and from too close supervision. They need to 'cultivate a high respect for the experience of their elders and for law and authority that they may grow to be useful, well-balanced citizens.”
