w)R ASSEMBLY
TO FAIL
r Y- -i. *1
Franchise League May Split
Own Organization Over
One-Day Scheme.
COMPROMISE PROPOSED
Gov. Goodrich’s proposal to call a
special session of the legislature
when the women of Indiana assure
him that the legislators will act on
nothing except the ratification of the
woman’s suffrage amendment will
not result in an immediate' meeting
of the general assembly.
The Woman’s Franchise league, which
Mrs. Helen Benbrldge of Terre Haute
said would obtain tie pledge of the leg-
r Mature to comply’ With the Goodrich'
made conditions, will not be.able to ob
tain such a pledge,ajxd may split, its own
organization In the attempt.
The “conditiouial; session" which Good
rich proposed will- fail of materialization
for two reasons t
1. .The women of Indiana will not
-be a unit in any attempt to pledge
the legislators to the Goodrich plan.
2. The legislators of Indiana will
hot, unanimously, be bound by any
gag rule which" Goodrich and his
friends may propose or endeavor to
promulgate.
Goodrich’s proposal, made after confer
ence with Will Hays and other republican
organization leaders, is beginning to re?
act. It did not "get across,\’.'.£6r the rea
son that it was* too- palpably ft ,"frgme?
up" to protect Goodrich from the things
he most fears im?lndian.
VISIT AND REPLY
WERE “FRAMED.” f
Shortly after the proposal was made
to the committee of four women who vis
ited the governor's office it became known
that the visit of* the- women and .the an- 1
nouncement fit thep- .•governor had been
- "framed" some tinie before it took place.
The women word ‘Wrought to the gov
ernor’s office from, the’ headquarters ■ of.

When they arrived- they were handed the
letter which Gov. addressed.jtop
Mrs. Benbridge, aUdvwhich obviously.so

from the hotel to ,his office..*-.,.,- , ■
It was noticeable that the> committee
of women who received it was packed for

head of the ’Franchise league, was, of

U republican party which ib presided over
fcby Will Hays. Mrs. Charles A. Butler is

state committee' in Indiana! Mrs.
John F. Barnhill, a vjce president, of
the Franchise league, has always been
, friendly to the‘ ,, Goddflch orgaYiizhtlob in
the state and is nti enthusiastic Wdrker
for suffrage above ’ everything else.
DEMOCRATIC WOMEN'
NOT ON SCENE. . ....
’"Noticeable for their nhsence from the.
gathering at the governor’s office, where
these four wtqnen attempted io 4 pledge
the women of the stiite to the governor's
program, were the other members oMhe*

The announcement by Mrs. Benbridge,.
immediately after the governor had pre?t

Franchise leaeritfe would attempt to pledge"

announcement, on behalf of the league
made by Mrs. Benbridge without the.
sanction or knowledge of the .executive

Members of anew board of directors

is no possible way the assembly can be
pledged to decline to receive other busi
t ness and there are members of it who
| will not stultify themselves to that ex

I These members will not pledge them
selves to refrain from the introduction
of other matters than suffrage into the
session and while they may not be nu
merous enough to accomplish the trans
actions of other, any business, they will
be numerous enough to iatroduce at any

Goodrich 4s so anxious to have the as
sembly' bound hand and foot before it
meets. •-'
Goodrich is not likely to feel that the
assurances of those few women who will
attempt to assure him of the legislature’s
commitment to his program are suffi
cient. Therefore, he Is not likely to call
a special session of the legislature at
present.
DOUBLE CADE
NOW SUGGESTED.
It has been suggested as a compromise
over a ‘situation that seems to be an
Impasse that Goodrich issue, now, two
calls for the general assembly, one for
immediate convention and the other for
convention several months In the future.
Advocates of this .plan say that there
can be no assurance that Goodrich would
reconvene the legislature if the suffrage
problem were out 'of the way and the
only method by which the public could
be insured of an opportunity to get con
sideration of public affairs would be
through .the issuance of an irrevokable
call before Suffrage is acted on. These
Mftsens candidly assert that the work
of Gov.' Gbodrich is neve rto be relied
On and they will take no-chances of his
'abtlßty to find a way to avoid a second I
and’late session of the assembly.
Among the members of the American '
YeglotU thete is considerable discussion
jo holv Goodrich expects to fulfill his
promise to them of an appropriation for 1
their memorial. He has promised them
that when the special session is con- !
vened he will see that money is provided
for their headquarters. In his statement
relative to the calling of the speciffl ses
sion he demands that the session be lim
ited solely to ratification of suffrage and
completely ignores his .promises to the
soldiers.—Copyright, 1920, Indiana Pub

SAYS STRICKEN
FIGHTERS NEED
MORE U.S. CARE
War Risk Examiner Declares
Money Should Not Be

‘SHORT BREATH* NEW AIL
Uncle Sam must awaken to the need of
building more hospitals and sanitoriums
to care for his fighters who succumb to
that greatest of enemies, white plague,
today declared Maj. Samuel McGaughey
local war risk insurance examiner, 407
Indiana Trust building.
"It isn’t a question now of trying to
pinch dollars in cutting down national
expenses as far as pensions are con
cerned,” said Maj. McGaughey, “but it
is vitally necessary that the government
save money and conserve man-power by
extending the present inadequate facili-

every part of the nation. We must en

if we do the right thing by the deserv
ing boys who sacrificed their lives, per
haps a living sacrifice at this time, but
eventually a slow, sickening end."
Since he has been made war risk In
surance examiner, Maj. McGaughey has
examined about 1,000 cases involving
adjustment of war Insurance and from
that list he had been able to draw many
conclusions concerning the health and
hope of the service men.
SHORTNESS OF BREATH
IS GENERAL COMPLAINT.
"I find that the general complaint of
the men examined,” began the doctor,
"Is ‘shortness of breath.’ Back In the

doubt contributed to a higher tension

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, JANUARY 2, 1920.
Dyers and Cleaners
of State to Meet
Indiana dyers and cleaners will meet
in annual convention at the Hotel Severln
beginning next Monday for two days.
Plans for the convention have been com
pleted by C. H. Maiben of Logansport,
Ind., president of the association;
Charles Richardson, secretary, of Lo
gansport, and C. F, Gregg of Indian
apolis. The convention plans call for an
address of welcome by Mayor Jewett and
various trade il&s.by members of the
association. Tfle national convention to
be held in Cincinnati late in January
will be the chief topic of the Tuesday
afternoon session.
me for examination. They smoked too
many for their physical good, and now
we hear that wail, ‘shortness of breath’
until I’m almost tired of it.
"And yet I am casting no reflection
upon the gomplalnants,” he continued,
“for I am convinced that fully 95 per
cent of the eases are genuine that have
applied for war risk relief. The other 5
per cent are malingerers. There are de
serving men who have not yet sought to
be examined for better adjustment of
their cases, and some are still walking
the streets, entitled to better relief.”
MUST BE EXAMINED
IN YEAR OF DISCHARGE.
Maj. McGaughey emphasized the fact
that all service men' entitled to relief
under the war risk clause must be ex
amined within one year after they are
discharged, if they expect to be bene
fited, although the government will con
tinue to make good for, five years, but
no readjustment will be made on a post
war basis.
Impatience on the part of soldiers to
get back home, Maj. McGaughey declared,
caused much confusion in the medical
cases contingent upon the government’s
promise to return the men to civil life
as sound as possible.
"The mad rush to get back among rela
tives,” the major said, "was natural, of
course, but in many cases men should
not have lied about their conditions as
they did in order to be discharged, and
many of these cases of personal health
irresponsibility are now popp' eg up for
readjustment. Wa are beginning to real
ize in many gassed cases that It will
take time to see what the actual post
conditions will be.”
War risk Insurance cases have been
roughly divided into wounded, arrested
and active tubercular, rheumatism, gassed
and heart cases, Maj. McGaughey ex
plained.
As one of the moat popular physicians
in the city, Maj. McGaughey has had an
interesting experience dealing with med
ical cases of the army. He was com
missioned captain in the medical corps
May 20, 1918, sent to Camp Greenleaf,
Ga., Aug. 13, 1918, and transferred in
October to Camp Dlx, N. .T. He had re
ceived overseas orders when the armi
stice was signed and was disappointed in
not being able to see service in Europe.
He was appointed war risk Insurance ex
aminer Sept L last.

Os this number sixty-seven were con

Why Girls Need
REOLQ
Every mother knows the danger
of that critical period when her
daughter approaches womanhood.
She knows that the tenderest care
Is necessary and that her daugh
ter's health and happiness, perhaps
even her life are in the balance.
The wise mother will safeguard
her daughter’s health and not per
mit her to overstudy, overwork or
undermine her health by worry, so
cial affairs and tasks that are too
heavy for her strength.
The healthy girl becomes the
strong perfect woman—the suc
cessful woman—the happy wife
and mother. It is every girl's birth
right to be happy and healthy and
mothers should watch this danger
period and make sure that over
study or overtaxing the strength
does not sap the energy, deplete the
blood, exhaust the nervous system
and lower the vitality.
Girls who are pale, anaemic,
nervous, languid—those who lack
vitality—or are overtaxing their
strength—need a SYSTEMATIC
TREATMENT OF REOLO. It Is a
wonderful tonic and supplies the
Invigorating iron, life-giving oxy
gen and reconstructive cell-salts
that the body must have to main
tain strength, energy and vitality.
The large package of REOLO
contains 100 pleasant, tasteless tab
lets, enough for two weeks’ treat
ment and only costs one dollar. It
has given remarkably successful re
sults for the systegiatic treatment
of girls. Every package is guaran
teed and your money will be re
funded if it does not giro nnmi>lnle
satisfaction.

I never got hold of a thing that did me
any good. I could not eat the slightest
thing without being In misery after

lumbago was terrible and I would hare
such awful pains In my back, and, In
