WOMEN HAVE RIGHT TO ACT AS PASTORS, i SAYS CHURCH LEADER (By Aoc!ateA Press) CHICAGO, Sept. 15 Male autocracy that once ruled in every part of life. Is making its last ftand in the minis
try, Miss M. Madeline Southard, president of the International Association of Women Preachers, told its annual convention here tonight. Miss Southard led the struggle in the Methodist Episcopal general conference last year that obtained license for women to preach. Her homo is in "Winfleld, Kan. Women preachers of a number of churches, for the association is non-denominational, heard her address. "Our good friends in this land who oppose woman's admission to the ministry seem to be serenely unconscious that they are the spiritual descendants of those who once held women as chattels, who later shut the schools in their faces, denied them the ballot,
end refused them equal wages for
equal work despite the fact that thousands of them were the family breadwinners," Miss Southard said. She then reviewed arguments against women preaching. Women Cannot be Denied. "The time was when an appeal to Scripture settled the whole thing, men of course doing the interpreting," she f-ald. "We have gone far from that now, for every woman's voice heard in Christian Endeavor, Epworth League or Sunday school is a direct violation of the 'keeping silence in the church," while if women did no teaching both public schools and Sunday schools would suffer considerable loss. "Another once overwhelming argument was that woman was not mentally capable of presenting the weighty themes that must he dealt with in the l'uipit. But since we have had a single generation of educated women we hear little more of that. "Again it was once seriously claim
ed that woman was unequal physically to the strain of pastoral work and
that in the day when women had from 12 to 15 children and did all the work for them! We know of one woman who in the Rocky Mountains covered a circuit of 50 miles and developed several churches, which I heard her district superintendent declare, "were now able to support a man as pastor.' Church Already Weakened "One still hears occasionally that the ordination of women will feminize the church. But that is impossible, for a man-monopoly of the pulpit has already accomplished it. "Many of the arguments once used against women's preaching have had to be abandoned. But the opponents still cling to one, the pet argument of 'woman's sphere.' Of necessity many women are not mothers and must seek other vocations, while many thousands of mothers are forced into the industrial world to support themselves and their children."

VIRTUAL OPEN SHOP IN REPRESENTATION OF PACKING HELPERS (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Sept 15 A virtual "open shop" policy in the packing industry was presaged today with the an
nouncement that beginning today, four
of Chicago's largest packing com
panies will inaugurate the "American
shop representation" system. This
system includes provision for repre
sentatives of the employes meeting in
council with company representatives to consider matters affecting the
workers.
Armour and company. Swift and company. Wilson and company and
the Cudahy Packing company an
nounced today that they had adopted
the plan. A statement from the pack-
ers said that 75,000 workers or more than ninety per cent of the employes.

meat supply should not be interrupted
during war times.

(By Associated Press)
CHICAGO. Sept. 15. An organiza
tion to promote harmony and good feeling between all classes, races and
religions in America was announced in the process of formation here today with Edward F. Dunne, former governor of Illinois, at its head. The society will be known as the National Unity Council and its organizers intend ultimately to spread it to every section of the country, according to Mr. Dunne. One of the prime motives behind the organization, its sponsors said, was to combat the Ku Klux Klan and organization of councils will be pushed particularly where the Klan has obtained a foothold. "In view of the fact that the Ku Klux Klan has adopted the weapon of mass action, it was our desire to organize a society which shall develop harmony and good feeling between different classes, rather than enmity," Mr. Dunne said today. "Invitations were sent out last week to many prominent church, political, business and welfare men and the replies are coming in now. We will hold a meeting in a few days to complete plans." Offices Opened
Offices of the council have already been opened on La Salle street, in the
financial section of the city.
The Ku Klux Klan, which maintains
an office here under the name of the "Southern Publicity bureau" was called a "menace to this and any community, by former Governor Dunne in their adoption of the "equipment of the burglar-masks and implements of violence."
CALL ASKS SUNDAY
BEFORE ARMS PARLEY BE DAY OF PRAYER
The Federal Council of the Church
es of Christ in America, is issuing a call for the observance'of Nov. 6, the Sunday preceding the International conference on the limitation of armaments, as a special day of prayer in all the churches. The statement is as follows: "The administrative committee of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America suggest that Sunday, Nov. 6 be observed by the churches as widely as possible throughout the' country as a special day of prayer, self-examination and
supplication for the guidance and blessing of God on the international conference on limitation of armaments." In a fuller statement" made, public
in a special "Disarmament Number" of the federal council bulletin, Rev. Sidney L. Gulick, the secretary of the federal council's commission on international justice and goodwill, declares that the reason the churches are vigorously supporting the conference is that disarmament is at heart a moral, even more than an economic, issue. "Armaments and super-armaments," he says, "are but external symptoms of deep-rooted moral - disorder. These weeks, therefore, before the convening of the conference call the churchse to clear thinking and to earnest prayer. In order that President Harding's great conference may greatly succeed there is pressing need of a wholesome, friendly atmosphere throughout our land, banishing the deadly mutual suspicions, the fears and intrigues that so often determine the policies of nations."

Some Are Extremely Necessary, Others May Not Be Every Woman Should Give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a Trial First
Chicago. 111. "I was in bed with a female trouble and inflammation and had four doctors but none of them did me any good. They all said I would have to have an operation. A druggist's wife told me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and I took 22 bottles, never missing a dose and at the end of that time I was perfectly well. I have never had occasion to take it again as I have been so well. I have a six room flat and do all my work. My two sisters are taking the Compound upon my recommendation and you may publish my letter. It is the gospel truth and I will write to any one who wants a personal letter." Mrs. E. H. Haydock, 6824 St Lawrence Ave., Chicago, I1L A Vermont -woman adds her testimony to the long line of those fortunate women who have been restored to health by Lydia K. Pinkham's VVpetahl
Compound, after it had been decided an operation was necessary : Burlington, Vt. " I suffered with female trouble, and had a numbet of doctors who said that I would never be any better until I had an operation. I was so bad I could hardly walk across the floor and could not do a thing. My sister-in-lat? induced me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and it certainly has helped me wonderfully. I keep house and do my work and hr.ve a email child. I have recommended Vegetable Compound to a number of my friends and you may publish my testimonial. "Mrs. H. R. Sharon, Applo Tree Point Farm, Burlington, Vt. In hospitals are many women who are there for surgical operations, and there is nothing a woman dreads more than the thought of- an operation, and the long weary months of recovery and restoration to strength if it is successful. ' It is very true, that female troubles may through neglect reach a stage where an operation is the only resource, but most of the commoner ailments of women are not the surgical ones ; they are not caused by serious displacements, tumors or growths, although the symptoms may appear the same. When disturbing ailments first appear take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to relieve the present distress and prevent more serious troubles. In fact, many letters have been received from women who have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound after operations have been advised by attending physicians. Lydia E. Pinkham's Priyate TexfBook upon "Ailments Peculiar to Women" will be sent to you free upon request. "Writeto The Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Massachusetts.
