DAUGHTER OF BRYAN FAVORS MAN-LIKE VIEW Femininity Stressed Too Much in Politics, Says Mrs. Ruth Owen. WASHINGTON, April 24 -The .< minine point of vicv. ’ should not i.o tressed in political discussion, in Ruth Byran Owen. Democratic ■ inures:-v oman of Florida, said to- •. in an Interview. In her econd week in con press,, irs. Owen is impressed with the irtesy and comradeship which she -I- among member:.. ."ox is not a distinction in man- : of t linking, except in such spelizod problems as affect the home •he 'amily " Mr.. Owen said, ■ Membe-i s os congress should not < lassified as men or women,” she id. but. as Republicans or Dcmoats. experienced in politics or iniiicrienced ” Repic ents WKI.tKKi ,lrs. Oven is representing 600.000 pie from her district. She feels ~e is representing t: • m in just the me way as though she were a .. n. She has gone about her work in , that wav. She ran hot cam,,iyn on busine i ue. . She has i rganized her office in a bu messi ke way, and her mind is running ■o the business problem oi her d.— rict, rather than to typically icminino legislation. For instance. Mrs. Owen is drafting a bill to control Lake Okechobr', - hic-h overflowed with great damage and loss of life in the last hurricane. She has not yet prepared any hills pertaining to welfare problems <>r things which women are sometimes supposed to be exclusively interested. Mrs. Owen's impressions of congress still largely are those she fromed as a child when she tieuuently accompanied her father, William Jennings Bryan, to the eapitol. He was a congressman from N< braska before he ran for president. ( ites Comradeship "I have not been here long enough to form any impressions of congiess from the view point ot a member. cx< ept to note the feeling of comradeship anti courtesy between the members." she said. Party regularity will be obscured by Mrs. Owen as far as possible. • Our government is organized on ihr basis of party responsibility rather than individual responsibillt she said. Legislation in the special session, Mrs. Owen feels, should be confined to farm relief and the tariff because the leaders have agreed on that program.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

GRANDMOTHER FAGES PRISON FOR SEX BOOK Convicted for Mailing of Pamphlet, Written Decade Ago for Growing Sons. By United Press NEW YORK. April 24.—Mrs. Mary Ware Dennett, a gray-haired grandmother who more than a decade ago wrote for the information of her growing sons a pamphlet on “The Sex Side of Life,” has been ! convicted of sending obscene matter I through the mails. The conviction, returned by a jury of middle-aged family men in Brooklyn, carries a possible penalty of five years’ imprisonment or a $5,000 fine, or both. Sentence will be pronounced Tuesday, when the machinery for appeals will be set in motion. It seems probable that the prosecution would not favor a prison . term, but would consider it a victory >o prevent further distribution j of Mrs. Dennett's treatise, which j has been used widely in educational j work of the Y. M. C. A, Union I Theological seminary, churches and j social organizations. “It is hard to go on with this sort cf thing,” said Mrs. Dennett, who looks younger than her 53 years, five minutes after the jury’s verdict was announced. “When I set out. years ago to give my boys ! a healthy view of life T never thought it would lead to this.” The sons, now good looking young men of 23 and 28, sat on each side of Mrs. Dennett in court. The defense attorney, Morris L. Ernst, believes he would be able to reverse the verdict and counts upon court rulings such as the refusal to hear defense witnesses. Representatives of organizations which had used Mrs. Dennett’s pamphlet as a suitable presentation of sex facts for adolescents supported the defendant as witnesses. The prosecution grouped its case around James E. Wiikinson. assistant district attorney, asserting that the pamphlet was not fit for the eyes of the young. Wilkinson argued that to read it would be to invite boys and girls to indulge in experimentation. The specific charge against Mrs. Dennett was that the pamphlet was j mailed to a woman in Grottoes, Va, a charge which the defendant readily admitted. Many caterpillars cf the “wooly” j variety have an irritable effect on I the human skin, something like that j of needles.

GENE HOWE TO SEEK GOLD AND GLORYIN EAST Texan Who Criticised Mary Garden Says He Will Return to Amarillo. By f nited Press AMARILLO. Tex, April 24.—Gene Howe, Amarillo editor, whose column “The Tactless Texas” described Mary Garden as “so old she tottered,” is going east for gold and glory. Howe is not deserting his beloved Texas Panhandle and Amarillo citizens who backed him in his criticism of Chicago's owti Mary and her opera company. He only is taking a vacation, lie says, and answering the requests of eastern publishing houses to “come on over and write for us awhile.” Gene wrote of his plans in his column and took occasion to deny again that he, the “little one-horse editor out in the desert” ever was guilty of intentionally belittling or criticising any one in order to gain publicity. He admitted, casually, however, that the little publicity which follows an innocent criticism of an opera is not altogether disagreeable. The stormy editor’s controversy with Miss Garden was widely published. Citizens charged the Chicago Civic Opera’s production of “Thais” was cut and offered in very’ haphazard fashion. Guarantors first refused to make good an SI,BOO deficit for the production. Later the guarantors assured the opera company the deficit would be made good, even if the contract were a “bad deal.” ~The latest chapter was the guar-
