She was living in Chicago at the time, having come there from Berlin. Germany, with her parent;. The Idea was not new to a woman, but Miss Miller looked about to ser ■ what she could do to remedy mat - I ters. The conclusion of her delibera tions upon the age-old sociological problems was that she must either submit to the view that a woman's | place was in the home or change ther sex. She chose the latter and for sixty years she was known as George Miller. The masquerade was torn away ; at Mercy hospital here when : "George Miller.'' a farmhand, w is brought in suffering from influenza. Return To Trousers Notv that Miss Miller is recovering she declares she will return to her habits of more than half a cen tury when she is discharged from the hospital. "I intend to dress as I have done so for many years.' she told hos pital attaches. "I'm used to hard work and labor. I've worked side by side with men in many capac ities which would have been denied to a woman: I don't know anything else, and I intend to go back to the old life." Since the time Miss Miller don ned a man's clothes and set out in to the world she has worked at many occupations, she says. “I’ve worked on the trapezes of various circuses, labored with rail road construction gangs, worked nr a railroad detective, been a bouncer in a saloon and in some years I've just been a boomer." she declared. Enjoyed Life “I learned to smoke and to drink with men, and I found out I couldn't work with rough, tough men without doing a bit of cussing, so I picked that up. too. It was a hard life at times, but I never asked quarter from it and I don't know anything else All I ask now is that I may return to it when I'm able to leave this hospital As she talked Mary Miller reach ed under her pillow and hauled forth an old tobaeco pouch and a blackened corncob pipe. She poured the tobacco into the bowl, packed it down expertly and applied a match. As the blue smoke curled about her bed she spoke a word or two of her opinions on the modemt flapper. "The trouble with them is they want to do things differently but they don’t know how. They want to get away fTom life as they find it. but few of our sex really ev r get away. I'm glad I did. I've en joyed life." OXFORD SUGGESTS TAX ON AMERICAN TOURISTS Oxford, England.—A tax on Amer ican and other tourists is suggested by the “Isis,” the Oxford university magazine, in the course of an edi torial directed against overseas visit ors. The tax. the magazine suggests, should be devoted to the Oxfo; d Presbyterian trust, which has been formed to prevent the encroach ment of manufacturing plants into the university part of the city. The “Isis" exclaims against ' Ox ford baring her beauties to the ko daks of Kansas and Khartoum, re- j ceiving nothing in return sa\e paper bags. 666 Cures Chills And Fever, Intermittent, Remittent and Bilious Fever Due to Malaria.

Coming Campaign To Get South Out Of Political Sleep, World Believes New York World: Senator Robinson's warning that, the South i,s a political battle-ground this year may sound alarming to partisan Democrats, but to any one who takes a longer view of American politics it is really very good new. It is hardly necessary to say that we hope and believe that the South will vote the Democratic ticket this year But we should much rather see the South go Democratic by in ertia. For the Democratic party has suffered, the South has suffered and the country has - suffered from the fact that for seventy years an ; important section of the country comprising some ten states has had an abnormal political system An undisputed monopoly cf politic'"! :power, whether it exists in Pennsyl vania and Vermont or in Georgia and Alabama, is inherently a bad thing, and anything which shakes that monopoly and tends to make communities feel that their opinions and their votes matter will turn out in the long run to be a blessing. Not Wholly Reputable We are quite well aware that the forces in the South which are pro ducing the revolt to which Senator Robinson alludes are not wholly reputable. Their chief, though not wholly avowed, motive is bigotry, and to a lesser degree honest pre judice and honest disagreement But that 'does not trouble us The ex istence of bigotry is a fact to be taken into account and there is r.c: better way to cure it than to force .it into the open. For bigotry flour ishes best in stagnant places, in communities where the natural lead ers of men. the intelligent. the spirit ed and the generous are not aroused to action. There need not be the . smallest doubt in any one's mini That if the issues bv the -bigoted ;Onre seem important to the South there will be plenty of men and wo men in the South who will regard it as their high privilege to strike down intolerance and vindicate the reputation of the South in the eyes of the world Senator Robinson him self is a shining example of what the civilized South will do when it is convinced that its Heflins are worth noticing South Once Originator To make the South a political bar tie-ground is to mobilize for the cause of liberty thousands of men and women who would ordinarily feel that they had no part to play in national affairs. Nothing could be better than that. The South was once the originator of an intellectual movement in the field of politics Which for brilliancy and wisdom will stand critical comparison with -anything in the history of modern popular government. No better po litical thinking has been done by anv group of modern men than thst 'which was done by the Virginia ‘statesmen, by men like Jefferson. Madison. Marshall. Their work en dures; their papers are among Ihe classics of political thought. The submergence of this leadership, thy long bondage of the South, first to slavery, then to its grievances., then to Bryanism and to Vclsteadism and Ku Kluekery, has been an intellect ual disaster: It has suffocated the young men who in a more normal political atmosphere would have risen to leadership. They have had no incentive and no opportunity to develop their powers. And therefore we say that the campaign of 10118 will be forever memorable if it cracks the political monopoly under which Southern leadership has lain prostrate. me partisan utmutrais wno an.’ disturbed at the prospect of a revival of political life in the South ought not to be disturbed too much. It will be a very good thing for the party if it follows Senator Robinson's advice, opens political headquarters in the South and sets out to earn the con fidence of the Southern voters W-» predict that it this is done, and that if Gov, Smith goes personally into the South and talks to it as he would to any other valuable and self-re specting section of the country, that the Democrats will hot only get the 112 electoral votes of the South but th«y will win also a tremendous ac cession of new. vigorous, competent political leaders. They should hot forget that there is a new generation in the Scuth which is no long*-r dominated by the memories of re construction. a generation which is rebuilding the economic and social and educational structure of the South. This generation does not yet exercise its proper influence In politics because it has had no chance to exercise it. There has been no cause, no issue, no personality to which it canvrally. It has accepted grudgingly the domination of sterile political machines like that owned by Senator Simmons and it has winced and suffered at the,spectacle oi bounders like Heflin. To this new generation in the South the Democratic party must address it self. arid ii ft does that, win or lose in 19118. it will have made a historic contribution to American life. Women Physicians Banned In Surgery stays Women Make Better W ives Than Dorters and Could Do Better in Other Fields London—Five of London's great teaching hospitals have just banned the entry of women medical stu dents lit the future,, women will only be able to qualify in London at two hospitals entirely women-staff ed. The reasons given are three—and these are hotly controverted by women in all ranks oi life They are Women do not take part in hos pital athletics. Women students disturb and em barass men students. Women do net make good doctors and do not follow up the profession, the time spent on training them .being wasted. ; The controversy has reached - that point of acuteness, where abuse is being freely used on both sides. But now. Dr. Graham Little. Mem ber ot Parliament for the Univer ' sity of London and famous phy sician has taken tip the cudgels for women doctors from another view point. Make Best Wives 'They make the best wives." he says. “Their medical education." ne (explains, "makes them ideal eom jpanicms for the intellectual man. Husband and Wife can scale the :p°ak of knowledge hand in han i, each being an experienced climb^’-. .The medical womans knowl jedge makes her specially fit to un dertake the bearing and rearing of ! the child which the mget typical of mid-Victorian poets said was • womens wisdom." “Il has been said that many wom en fail to make a living by medi cine or drop out of the struggle for qualification. "Comparison with men students will probably show that there is no disproportionate number of wom en who are thus affected as com pared with men. of course excep tion being made of the special con ditions of marriage which common ly results in the Woman relinquish ing her profession, and not the man. Become Successful “When medical women elect to remain unmarried, and it is for the most part an election, they have little difficulty in having work to do. "The emoluments which may be confidently anticipated by the wom en in medicine compare most fa vorably with the rewards they may look for in any other walk of life. There are vast new fields of prac tice to be filled by women who are specially adapted, for example to an tenuptial and maternity work. “Whether the men like it or no'. I believe the women have come to stay and I personally bid th en the heartiest of welcomes." Dog Saved From Sewer Philadelphia—Dragged down a manhole and into the sewer when six feet of water covered Pennsyl vania avenue at Union station. Wil mington Bruno, a dog. for a brief while was mourned as dead by his master. David El wood Brwne. how ever, sopn reappeared, having -been carried down one block and dis gorged at the next manhole. A youth appeared paddling a canoe on Pennsylvania avenue, while others put cn bathing suits and swam. Fred Evans was forced to climb to th» top of his sedan to avoid being drowned. Water came v .'thin three inches of his perch. John Asay, a taxicab driver, also maiooned, but was rescued by a tow truck as the water crept near the roof of his car. If any man thinks a changed spirit hasn't come over America since prohibition, let him attempt to drink some of it.—Louisville Times. Strtms Personal and Political Drv. She Sees Rest Hope In Governor New York Mrs Nellie Tayloe Ross. a p< sonal and political dry. has undertaken to lead the women voter's fef the country into the cany) of Alfred- F Smith, who believes that the prohibition laws should lie modified A director ci the women's division of th. Democratic national comi V - tee. Mr Ross explained, in an inter view with the United Press that she j saw no reason why her position as a dry should interfere with her effi cacy as the outstanding woman, worker for Governor Smith ' Her position is this: That Smith is honest and that Smith has ability Honesty requires, him to enforce all laws includin'; prohibition. Points to Hoover i "I believe." Mrs. Ross said, “that the wom°n of this country would | rat her trust the enforcement of pro hibition to a man like Governor Smith than to Herbert Hoover 1 am ja dry but I do not recognize Mr. Hoover as a dry. Neither he nor the .Republican party has ever come out lopenly in favor of the Volstead act." I Thus the country is to be treated to the spectacle of a former woman governor, who made a notable record of enforcing, prohibition during her | term of office in Wyoming,. cam paigning in the interests of defeating the party which is being classified this year as the "dry" party. .Mrs. koss is a toe to tne process ional reform »r -and say. that al though she kept Wyoming bone tf* while serving as gcverno ■ she did not have the support of the Antt Saloon league which gave its sup port to th“ Republican party. Honesty I'rgt-ii In the present campaign she holds 'that women are more interested in I honesty in government and in farm relief than any other issues. : Ih the role of 'president-make-.' Mrs. Ross intends that her work 'shall be "should-tr to shoulder with the work of Mr. Ra.skob i chairman of the national committee' and his aides." "I do not believe." she said. "tln.t | we should assert ourselves as women. (Our political interests are the same as those of the men and we will work j together." Mrs. Ross said she would appoint a women's advisory committee to parallel and supplement the advisory committee of men appointed by Raskob. The former Wyoming governor's personality was compared by her friends during the Democratic con ferences here this week with the personality of Governor Smith. Like Smith she has a winning smile. She is noted for her common Sense >n politics and is jovial and talks as SOLD Our entire stock has been told, that is stock left after we close our great Removal sale and that vvill.be scon, any day now.
