Politics Makes Strange Bedfellows

By Mrs. Walter Ferguson A statement put out by a Woman’s Christian Temperance Union leader says that if the prohibition question were submitted to a vqte of the people, we would keep the Volstead law. A perfectly reasonable surmise. For surely this woman must know that, in case such a thing ever happened, the most violent element in the nation would vote with the purest reformer. Do we suppose for one instant that the bootlegger would ever voluntarily go back to local option? Would the heads of these immense crime rings in our great cities, which are kept up by millions of dollars made in illicit liquor traffic, give up their fount of riches without a protest? Would the grape grower, who can now sell his product for ten times what he once got, be willing to turn down by his vote this source of revenue? Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler points out that the Eighteenth Amendment should come out of the Constitution, and that each State'should be permitted to regulate the matter to suit itself. Surely a sensible suggestion. There is no doubt that prohibition functions differently in the country and the city. Where vhe small town once had from five to ten open saloons, it is now in a fairly prosperous condition with men who were once addicted to di'ink become respectable citizens. On the other hand, the cities have become very hotbeds of iniquity. It

is there, where big money is, that the bootlegger can sell his high priced booze. In the city lie reaps his harvest of gold, builds up his crime rings and makes his influence dangerous. There he is fast buying himself into political power and hopes soon to be able to run the country to suit himself. Kansas had State prohibition for many years before the nation went dry. This innovation of hers was a distinct success. But because Kansas wants to be dry is no reason why New York should be forced to do as Kansas does. No, this prohibition problem is a much graver tiling than we give it credit for being. In spite of the fact that great sentiment is growing up against it. allowing the people to vote upon it, would but entrench it the more firmly. For this is one thing about which the virtuous and the bad would agree at the polls. Notwithstanding the divergence of their reasons, the W. C. T. U. worker and the bootlegger would mark their ballots just the same. Tipton Academy Sends Girl Home fin Timex Special TIPTON.

despite salary OFSIOO,OOO, WORK FAILED TO ATTRACT HER

New York’s Best Paid Business Woman Believes Place in Home. By Virginia Swain NBA Service Writer NEW YORK, March 3.—The high-est-salaried woman in commercial New York Is a woman who never wanted to work. Mrs. Blanche R. ' Green, whose earnings as vice president of a corset company amounted to about SIOO,OOO last year, admits that harsh necessity and not an inherent zest for business sent her into the ranks of wage-earners fifteen yeai's ago. Doesnt Prate Mrs. Green is one successful woman who does not prate of “women’s right to self-expression,” the “waste of women's talents in the home, or the “liberation of women from the kitchen range.” There was nothing she wanted less than liberation front her kitchen range when she got it. Born and bred in Virginia, where women are ladies and husbands are good providers, she expected to spend her life in the housewifely arts her mother taught her. At 18 she married and moved to New York State with her husband. Four years later, when her daughter was just learning to toddle, the husband met with an accident which paralyzed hljy for life. He is still a helpless invalid. And so Mrs. Green took off her apron and put on the blue serge suit of business and went at it. An interlude of farming on a Berkshire acreage proved that agriculture. without a man to boss the job, was not a success. Mrs. Green brought her little family to Poughkeepsie, N. Y., intending to find some way of making a living and eventually sent her daughter through Yassar College. Without any business training and without capital, she established a corset shop in which women could be fitted for tailor-made corsets. Mrs. Green took courses in anatomy, studied sculpture and worked with doctors until she thought she knew the ideal human figure, and also the remedies for the defective figure. She was then making a hundred dollars a week in commissions. But she wanted a wider field. So when the corset firm that had been making her garments offered her $25 a week as a traveling saleswoman, she took it and trusted Heaven to help her pay the expenses of her family. “Those first days ‘on the road’ are still a horrible memory,” she says. “If you think a traveling salesman has a hard life, consider the traveling saleswoman, especially of fifteen years ago. “She had very few colleagues. Business men wex-e not cordial to women drummers. The discomforts of train and hotel life are harder on a woman of fastidious taste than on the average traveling man. “So sheltered had my life been that when I started on the road I bad never before slept in a Pullman. During our four years in the Berkshires I had seen a train only twice.” But in spite of discouragements, worries about tlxe sick husband and the little daughter at home, and the loneliness of travel, Mi-s. Green began to get results. With her work, the prosperity of the small firm she represented increased. A few years ago she was made vice president of the company, in authority"* over nearly 3,000 employes, men and women. The fifteenth anniversary of her entrance into the work brought the

NUDE SHADE OF HOSIERY j PASSING OUT More Subtle Flesh Tones in Stockings Are Taking Place. By Mary It. Farmer Indianapolis hosiery dealers and saleswomen and messages from Paris and New York aro nil agreed tlxnt ! the nude shade of hosiery Is going 1 the way of all extremes —to the dls- ! card, and subtler flesh tones are taki ing tho place. It does not mean i tliat the light shades arc going, but | that the new stockings aro giving i the impression of nudity without be- | ing too pronounced. In each color and variation of grey and beige there is an undertone of rose. Tho filmy stocking now most in demand reveals the flesh and roso blending adds to that illusion. The brilliant pink and nude are very passe, they say, and the shades of grey and ivory are extremely becoming. There is a grain shade with a tint of the rose blending which Is most pleasing with a number of the shades for spring dresses. Tho darker grey, gunmetal and black are very good where patent and satin slippers aro worn. I D. A. R . NOMINATES Caroline Scott Harrison Chapter Scleets Candidates.
