WOMAN National women’s party is making a AND HER | ’ compendium of State laws to demonstrate RIGHTS X to various State Legislatures wherein women are discriminated against legally. Everybody agrees this is a fine piece of work, and other women’s organizations are indorsing it. But this irks the restless spirits of some national women s party leaders, who say “it would be much better and quicker .to get an amendment to the Federal Constitution, and thus by one fell swoop remove aH discriminations a'gainst women everywhere.” Turning their fine energies in that direction, the national women’s party leaders bring down upon themselves and their movement the denunciation of the Women’s Trade Union League, the National Consumers’ League, the National League of Women Voters and other organizations which feel that the constitutional amendment proposed to secure equal rights for women would, if .enacted, automatically lose for woman many of the protections she has needed by reason of sex. The organizations are unanimous in their wish to remove bad State laws, and it strikes us that the national women's party would accomplish more for the women of the iand if it made haste slowly, kept hands off the Federal Constitution, and centered tivities on the State Legislatures, which now have the power to remedy backward laws'. That may not be as spectacular progress, but it would be far more certain of results. SIGN OF j —NiOULD you drink seventeen large glasses of NORMAL S wine (more than half a gallon) in six min TIMES utes" Edmund Gwenn, English actor, does it in the musical play, “Lilac Time.” Result: He’s the theatrical sensation of London. The English mob can't understand how any one can guzzle over two quarts in six minutes, and do it twice a day. Gwenn lets them in on his secret — the “wine” is colored water. But that only puzzles the English still more. Swallowing half a gallon of water in six minutes is an achievement. Gwenn says he has to drink on an empty stomach, doesn't dare eat before the show. All of which may seem unimportant. But the English public is giving it about as much attention as the situation along the Rhine. Thus returns normalcy, the period in which public attention is chiefly on trivialities.

Flieh speed motive picture cameras, which make possible the glow-motion picture, were first designed and built in 1913 by the United States Naval Own Factory in collaboration with the Edison laboratories for the scientific study of the motions of projectiles in flight. Up until that time no camera would take more than about sixteen exposures per second, but this study of projectiles demanded a camera which would take over 100 exposures per second. Where did the food plants cultivated by the Indians before Columbus discovered America come from? According to Science Service the Indians’ staple food crops all originated :n the American, and had been developed from native wild herbs and hrubs by the redman. Corn was a 1 1 titivated wild grass. potatoes originated from a tuberous weed of the Andes: squashes and pumpkins from wild gourds; common beans and lima beans from leguminous vines scrambling in thickets: sweet potatoes from .one of the many wild morning

dories: peanuts from a wild vine that ripened Its seed under ground: pine- • ipples from coarse prickly-leaved , ’ants of certain somi-arid regions of Central America: chocolate from the seed of a tropical American shrub; and tobacco from several species of clammy ill-smelling weeds Rilled to the narcotic henbane of** the Old World.

Only one—the Cherokees. Their alphabet is called Sequoia. Into how many groups Is the human family divided? l our; but each Is a collection of races. Over the European and Madl terrar.ean area and western Asia there axe and have been for many thousands of years white peoples, usually called the Caucasians, subdivided into two or three subdivisions, the northern blondes, an alleged intermediate race about which many authorities are doubtful, and the southern dark whites. Over eastern Asia and America a second group of races prevails, the Mongolians, generally with ye! low skins, straight black hair ;nd sturdy bodies. Over Africa the negroes, and in the region of Australia and New Guinea are the black, priml tive Australoids. These terms represent only the common characteristics of certain main groups of races; they leave out a number of little peoples who belong properly to none of these divisions.

Is Fate of Free Olivia Stone Worse Than 'That of Lillian Raizen, , Murder Convict'■?

TWO women, thwarted in love, smarting under injustice, each decided to do away with the tedious processes of the law and mete out swift death to the man who had wronged her.

BY ALFRED SEGAL NfeA Service Staff Correspondent Cincinnati, Feb. 28.—it waa three days before Christmas. Good will was in the holly that adorned the windows of stores.

Farmers and Kir lies ; To th* Editor of The Tirnen To your query: “What does | America (The United ‘States) need,” j will say; The “basic industry” of the United ] otates is “agriculture." j The secretary of agriculture said j that “the fanners' commodities or j product* of the year following the ; world's war failed by over 6.000.UU0,000 1 dollars of bringing the cost of produc- , Ion.” We note a report is current In the i Sully press that there are 80,000 more j millionaires now than before the I world war. We are constrained to Inquire how many, If any, increase of millionaires belong to the “basic Industry,” and if none, why not? We may get some information as to why there are no farmers among this increase of 80,000 millionaires, namej ly: A principle of economics that has ! never been abrogated or cancelled says, "Everything else being equal the amount of money per capita cirj delation controls the price of all farm ; products.” Taking the above as being ! uncontroverted, the conclusion must be that the "deflation” of the curj rency Is the direct cause of the rcduc- ; tion of the price of “farm com- | modifies.” The rapid and almost perpendicu lar “deflation per capita of a clrcula- | lint? medium” Is responsible for the fall in price of the farm commodities, j I Then why not maintain the law of j | supply and demand for control of the | volume of money, seeing that this sets j the price of the “basic industry” prodI ucts.

But is the fate of free Olivia Stone, battling public opinion in Cincinnati any easier than will be the fate of Lillian Raizen when prison doors close behind her?

By JOSEPHINE VAN ,DE GRIFT, NEA Service Staff 'Writer. BROOKLYN, Feb. 28. —"Be brave, dearest, be brave, dearest," whispered Charles Raizen over and over when the judge had pronounced sentence and Lillian Raizen had been carried fainting from the courtroom. And—“Be brave, dearest,” will somehow trickle through prison walls to the leaden heart of Lillian Raizen. It will mean that the man who had been her childhood sweetheart, who had forgiven her freely when she had made a shamed confession, had tried to make her wifehood happy, who had stood by her stanchly through the trial, was still waiting, thinking, hoping. They are both 30 years o!d.~ Years from, now when the prison gate.-, swing open "will a gray haired man gather close the bent form of Lillian | Raizen and whisper, "Be brave, dea rest, he brave?” If past faithfulness counts for anything one might well ; expect as much from Charles Raizen. Need Not Go Hungry Free Olivia Stone was hard put to 'it to get a bare existence. Lillian j Raizen at least need not go hungry. ; She will eat at 7 o'clock and again | ; at. ll:3P and again at 6^—prison fare, ■ but substantial, and it will come regui i-

iarly. i Free OJivia Stop* was denied the right to work. Lillian Raizen wiil work every day. She will sew and wash and cook and for her work she will receive the modest recompense of 7Vj cents a day. Free Olivia Stone did not know where she might lay head Li! ion Raizen will have a littl<* narrow whitewashed room with a cot in it. There wilj be a single window looking on the out-of-doors. Lillian Kaizen will not be able to escape through that window but—nothing can connthrough it to hurt her. Can Sing Songs It was a little French song which in years gone by had drawn two people together and unwittingly led on ro tragedy. If Lillian Raizen still cares to sing she may do so The prison is equipped with a piano. Perhaps some day Lillian Raizen will forget her own sorrow long enough to sing to some other prison-sick soul, yearning for a little music. Lillian Raizen is cultured, she has a sense of the dramatic, her voice is well modulated. Books and pictures to a reasonable degree she may nave •n her little prison room. The necessity of the s: aggie "n daily existence being removed India Raizen could, during her loisurprison hours, develop herself in hi rjj tare, in art, in music. She could lievise ways of making the lot of other prisoners more bearable. Life need j not close for her because two prisoh gates swing together.

Erection of First State House HISTORICAL SERIES \ , Back in 1832 Ithicl Town, the most notable American architect of the period, was asked to draw up plans for a State House. His plans were accepted and the first State House was finished in 1886. The fityle of the building was Grecian, following the Parthenon, except in the preposterous dome. If that had been left off It would have been really very handsome and in very good taste. Bv ISti, the State House was so overcrowded and dilapidated that it was necessary to erect anew building. At the tune the first State House of Indiana was torn down Fletcher’s Bank had been directing the financial policies of Indianapolis and the state for 28 years, or since 1533.
