RESENTS SLURS
UPON MORALS OF
BRITISH WOMEN
Admitting Sex Surplus Over
Men, Lady Askwith Asks
for New Paths.
EMIGRATION NO CURE
LOUDON, Feb. 25.—LadyAsquith, who
was decorated with the insignia of a
cr.mander of the order of the British em
pire for her war work, has come for
ward to defend the morals of the p.ftcr
the-war girl and to give her views on
the solution of the surplus women ques
tion.
Lady Askwith resented some of the ac
cusations made by Dr. R. Moray Leslie,
who had declared that England has “one
million too many women - ’ nnd that
“something ought to be done about it. - ’
Nor does she have any fears over the fate
that 1,000,000 English girls, or maybe
more, will have to remain single because
there are not enough husbands to go
around.
BIGHT TO LIVE
OIVN LIVES.
“Women nave a right to live thrir own
Urea no le-'s than men," declared Lady
Askwith. , “But In view of the -mail
shortage (compared with the large num
ber of girlsi it seems that the question
now is to supply the surplus women with
opportunities adapted to their sex and
'cdivldual attributes.
“Dr. Murray Leslie declared that the
morals of the modern English girl are
lower than those of our grandmothers,
but T do not believe this declaration is
justified by the facts. It is not, so far
as my observations go. Women cer
tainly exceed men in numbers. If there
were one million more women than men,
before the war. perhaps there are now
two million more women than men, ow
ing to the dreadful loss of life at the
front. Tn consequence of this there will
be fewer marriages. Incidentally, It is
certainly obvious that there must be
less immorality.
WOMEN WANT TO
BTAY AT HOME.
“I am not a great supporter of the
proposal to solve the surplus women
question by emigration. When I was on
Queen Mary’s emigration committee early
in the war I found there was a very lim
ited desire for emigration on the part
of our women. They want to remain
at home. The women required iu the
dominions belong in the category of do
mestic servants.
•‘ln this connection let me say that
emigration is sometimes the undoing of
women. They are attracted by false ad
vertisements inserted by unscrupulous
persons.
“The best remedies, I believe, are en
larging w’omen"s opportunities for em
ployment in England and remedying
evils in the path of those who want to
rear a family. - ’
(The above Is the *econd of two
articles upon the British woman ques
tion. which is now arousing intense In

“Charley, - ’ as he was affectionately
known, had always stopped at the Grand
on his visits to Indianapolis. He had
been paying regular visits here for more
than forty years.
“Everybody called him Charley,” said
a man who had known Marsh for twenty
years. Marsh always insisted that even
the young men call him “Charley” and
as “Charley” he was known throughout
the central west and the New England
states.
He is survived by a wife and two sbns.
Mrs. Marsh has been an invalid for many
fears in Springfield. The two sons also

ing. Weathers went to the room and
knocked. When he leeeived no answer
Weathers unlocked the door. Marsh was
lying on the bed as if asleep.
“Charley,” he called, but the old msn
failed to answer.
Weathers said that Marsh was kuown
to more hotel proprietors in the east
and central west than any other travel

“It was just the other day that be
was asking me about George Ftnx, who
was proprietor of the Grand hotel In
the eighties, when ’Charley’ first
stopped at the hotel,” Weathers said.
Guy Meyers, superintendent of the
Chandler & Taylor Company, was one
of Marsh's best friends.
“What; ‘Charley’ dead," exclaimed
Meyers. “Why, I talked with him for an
hour in my office yesterday afternoon.
’Charley' was a great old character. He
told me yesterday that he was 80 years
old last October. I asked him when he
was going to quit work as a traveling
salesman, and said : ‘There Is no reu
son why I should quit. There’s lots of
pep In me,_yet. Quit, why I feel fine.’
“I had known Marsh for twenty years.
Everybody liked him and be made every
body, even young men, call him ‘Charley.’
Fifty "years ago he was on the road sell
ing Smith & Wesson revolvers’’
Weathers stated that he thought
“Charley” was about 82 years old and
that he once told him that he had been
on the road since he was übout 21 /ears
old. Marsh included tn bis territory
Chicago, St. Louis, Rockford, 111., and
Quincy, 111. He viisted leading factories

LIQUOR SHIPPERS
FOOL DRY‘HAWKS’
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.—Hunting for
loopholes In the prohibition enforcement
regulations has been a favorite occupa
tion since Jan. 17. Prohibition Com
missioner Kramer told how ship op
erators had worked Inside the law to
get around the regulation requiring all
liquor for export to be outside th<- three
mile limit by mldtPtght on Jan. 16.
On a request for a ruling it was held
that vessels taking on part of their
•argo at a foreign part, could enter an
American port with liquor on board, nnd
take additional cargo without fear that
the liquor would be seized. During the
export rush just prior to Jan. 17, some
ship operators hastily loaded their liquor
and left for Canada, or Cuba, where
some semblance of loading a portion of a
cargo wub made.
When ships with American liquor for
export began dropping into American
ports to pick up the rest of a cargo, the
prohibition enforcement officers had to
admit the law had not been violated.

MAJOR-GENERAL WOOD
WARNS AMERICAN PEOPLE
"Universal Service brought to
the colors, through the draft, first
and last, approximately three mil
lion men, and it is safe to say that
not over fifty per cent, probably
less, of the men were fit for line
service when the nation was called
to the colors," said Major General
Wood in a recent article in the
Metropolitan Magazine.
"When it is remembered,” he
said, “that the men sent to the
camps for training had passed the
elective Draft Boards, and that
they represented those who were
considered most fit to undergo
training and preparation for mili
tary service, it does not take much
imagination to picture the physi
cal and health conditions of the
remaining thirty per cent. Think
what this condition means; what
Its effect is—upon the race, upon
national efficiency, national moral
ity and character!”
"The mobilization of the selected
men pf our nation brought to our
attention an intolerable, unneces
sary and dangerous condition—
dangerous to us and to the race.”

strong, it is absolutely necessary

SAYS PACKERS’
BOARD NEEDED
Minnesota Solon Outlines Plan
for Special Legislation.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.—Despite the
dissolution agreement of Attorney Gen
eral Palmer with the "big five” packers,
a federal commission is necessary to
supervise the packing industry, Repre
sentative Anderson, Minnesota, one of
the framers of the Kenyon-Anderson bill,
told the house agricultural commltte#
yesterday.
Opening anew investigation of the
meat packing business, Anderson de
clared that the agreement with Palmer
“Is not sufficient from the standpoint
of the consumer or the producer."
Legislation should be passed to pro
vide for regulation along these lines,
Anderson said:
1— Public supervision of the pack
ing Industry under a license system
directed by a federal commission and
not the department of agriculture,
as Anderson originally proposed.
2 Assurance that Independent
packers will not be discriminated
against In the use of refrigerator cars.
3 Separation of the stock yards
from packer control.
4 Development of co-operative and
municipal packing plants In the cen
ters of production.
As the hearing opened a clash de
veloped between members supporting
and opposing the big packers. Repre
sentative John W. Rainey, Chicago, de
clared that many members had crit
icised the packers unjustly for the pur
pose of obtaining votes in farmer dis
tricts. This caused a storm of objec
tion and Rainey finally withdrew hie
charges.
The purpose of the bearings, it was
stated by Chairman Haugen, la to de
termine whether legislation is needed to
supplement the packer dissolution de
cree negotiated by Palmer. Officials of
the federal trade commission are ex
pected to be heard next.

“We are very thankful to Pepgen and
it certainly gives me pleasure to tell our
experience.”
The welfare of mankind demands that
our bodies should be 'supplied with good
healthy nourishment. Healthy nourish
ment can only be had through tbe stom

entire system suffers. Pepgen Is valu
able as a system tonic because it is de

to aid digestion, thus enriching the
blood, which carries nourishment to
every nook and corner of the system.

—Stuart'B Dyspepsia Tablets
Help Digest the Meal.
Good food in iteelt Is harmless. The
usual reason stomach troubles arise le
due to faulty digestion brought about by
overwork, sickness, overeating, late
hours, etc.
The best way to correct faulty stom
ach troubles due to digestive mistakes
Is to do wbat nature wants. All that
nature usually needs in such cases is a
little assistance to do this work. This ie
why doctors tell you to diet. Nature is
j then compelled to aid herself. You do
not then overwork her when she is al
ready exhausted.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets go Into your
stomach Just like food. They help dl
frest food, and thus, when the next meal
s eaten, the system is better prepared to
do its work without assistance,
i By following this practice many have
' corrected their stomach trouble!, and
have conquered the old “bugbear” of tn
' digestion.
Always take a Stuart’* Dyspepsia Tab
let after meals or just before bed time.
By doing this vou will be acting wisely
and playing safe.
