I nlted Press Staff Correspondent. Washington, April 9. Party pow wows preceding the new Congress hav ing been completed by both sides in the house tonight, republican leaders were ready to Introduce Monday and rush through the house, the emergency tariff and companion legislation, intend ed to relieve the agricultural situation and bo promote general industry. Congressman Claude Kitchin, of North Carolina, selected by the demo cratic caucus as ha candidate lor speaker, thus succeeds Champ Clark as democratic house leader, with Represcn tative Garrett, of Tennessee, as his lieu tenant. The speakership rivalry is merely perfectory. the reelection by ;he republicans of Speaker Gillett. of Massachusetts, being, of course, con ceded. Senate organization will wait until next week when Senator Cummins. Iowa, will he elected president pro tern and committee choices made. The program ratified by house repub licans tonlKht was to be started imme diately after President Harding's raes sage is delivered Tuesday. The first measure taken up in the senate will .he the Columbian treaty. The house pro gram is: 1. Emergency tariff bill framed to protect agricultural products. 2. Antidumping bill to prevent, by Increasing tariff duties, the selling in this country of foreign products at larg er prices than they are sold for In the oountry of production. 3. American vnluation bill, providing for tariff duties levied on values ex pressed in dollars instead of in foreign money. tt also was decided today to intro duce in the house Monday and rush as much as possible a budget bill to "put business methods into government appropriation" methods. This program was announced after conferences with President Harding by Representative Mondell, Wyoming, re publican house leader: Representative Qood, Iowa, chairman house appropria tions committee and Reprsenttative Madden, member of the republican steering committee of the house. "The emergency tariff, anti-dumping and American valuation bills will be yiven precedence," Mondell said to night.

A permanent immigration bill, meas ures to fix the size of the house under the 1920 census, to amend the rail road law, to control the packers, for care of infants and mothers, and for reorganization of government depart nients are ready for introduction. DO YOU THINK OR THINK YOU THINK? Chicago, April 9. Do von realiv think or do you merely think you think? Just a moment! Before vou answ.-r hark to the opinion of Robert R. Gault, professor of psychology at Northwest ern I nlversity, delivered in a lecture on "Suggestion and Suggestibility" before the T'nlversity Guild in Fvnn- lion. "Men nr.d women think less thin they assume they do," declared Dr. Gault. "What they mistake for think ing is often only obedience to their prejudice and other more or less un- nonsclous dispositions. They believe not o much what Is reasonable as what they want to believe. So called be liefs are attained from suggestions playing upon predisposed natures." Dr. Gault then went, for example, to tlie war time stories of atrocities cir culated tleoughout Germany. Those stories, he said, were described by both Belgian and German writers is having "arisen in expectant anl hence suggestible natures." "Hosts of people jump whenever the wit winds," concluded Dr. Gault. "As a matter or course they accept dictum of the society leader, rich, the well-dressed and the Voiced." the the bis- JEWS WILL SECURE SACRAMENTAL WINE and working In factories "I'm smry. of course, that conditions make It impossll4c for you to float through college on flowery beds of ease.' but let nie tell you. you'll en Joy school ever so much more if you pay for it all yourself." declares Miss Florence E. Wallace, of Wooster. a senior, whose essay was in the form of a letter to a friend to whom she divulged her experiences in working her -v throuch school. "Pocket Your False Pride." Miss Wallace laid down three rules to which she adheres. They are: "First, pocket your false pride. Re proud only of being able to pay your own way. "Second, take any job that offers, no matter how disagreeable, or poorly paid. That kind of work, well done, usually leads to something better. intra, let everyone know you are willing to work. It pays to advertise." Miss Wallace said her expenses dur ing her first year in college were less that $200. By the time her Junior year was completed, her expenditures reach ed $225. This year, which will include her graduation, she estimates $300 will be sufficient to meet all requirements. Miss Wallace mis earned money both summers and winters. Her favorite odd-job is waiting table. "I started when I was in high school," she confessed, "and I have become quite expert. I have served at the country club, at college affairs', at private dinners and at three sum mer hotels. I have worked on Satur days at shoe store, and. later at a clothing; store. The objection to Satur day work is that nearly all the college games and parties come on that day. I do not use a typewriter, hut I have found office work to do. I have addressed thousands of envelopes. Last summer, profiting by the training I re ceived in the science in which I am majoring. I procured laboratory employ, ment and saved $200 during vacation, I have taken care of babies, done house work for faculty wives, and, when I was ft freshman. I worked in a factory one vacation and did sweat-shop work at home for 12 1-2 cents an hour. Always Enough to Do. "Like the widow's cruse, I've always abounded with opportunities for work. It seems as if I never need extra money without extra work appearing. Sometimes I've wished I were twins so I could do two jobs simultaneously, 've often been able to get work for other girls, and many of them have been kind in remembering me for the same purpose." Miss Jean Wilson whose parents are missionaries in India, has done some "domestic Intervention" to "bring in the ducats." she said. "Many of the good ladies of the community are glad to let someone play Martha for them at times." said Miss Wilson. "I have done it on a number of occasions. For anyone who likes housework, or cooking there is an opportunity here for fairly steady employment. In the same connection I might mention the cherubic infants with which this town is richly endowed. "They often need to he taken tare of while 'mama' and 'papa' go out to dinner or club.

"The wife of a f urloughed mission ary wanted someone to help her get ready to go back to her work. So I gave her an afternoon a week which resolved itselt into an irnninar dav When other calls for ironing came. I accepted gladly 1 spent Saturday mornings with one woman, cleaning house. "Washing dishes at the donriitorv proved to be lots of fun. I spent an hour in the kitchen every night, wash ing dishes. Yes, hut I was also get ting acquainted w-ith the other irirls who work there. Reing 'hall girl' proved delightful employment. The work was. principally, answering the telephone and doorbell. "In my second year I tried living out In town and working fnr my board and room. I liked it. hut it was too hiird for me. Then I began working Just for my room. That was much belter It gave tne jupt enough of the home touch to keep my fingers nimble. I have, also, done some work aa assist ant to the rollege librarian, and a profitable path to the coffers of the world at large Is through iuv stocking agency-. I always find sou girls who are needing hose. Last CbPistmas, we gills made daintv organdie flowers In bouquets and rorsatres and found n brisk demand for them. I often earn extra money by typing theses, or look reviews, or things of that sort." What Is the reason for our increased baby death rate and the fact of Ger many's low percentage in this respect? Dr. S Josephine Baker, of the Bu reau of Child Hygiene, has given out the result of her obseratlons and rat ings on the subject. Dr. Raker Points out Trouble. "I believe, in spite of the report that the death rate was eighty-two in a thousand In the year 1919 and eighty five in 1920," said Dr. Baker. "Thl makes a 3 per cent increase in either rase, which was due to the prevalence of contagious diseases such as ceasles and whooping cough. "Last Spring there was an epidemic of measles, many babies died thereby. "Contagious diseases and those of the respiratory tract, such as pneu monia, are the main causes of Infant mortality. "Dr. Copeland says that poor hous ing conditions cause the death of babies. He is right. These conditions foster contagious diseases and pneu monia, the immediate cause of death. "People live In close quarters and succumb to disease. Our experience almost always, shows that the over crowding and attendant bad air leave the young members of such a house hold with less resistance to epidemics. "Many parents of babies are afraid of opening windows and letting in fresh air. Others believe 'night air' is ood. "Fresh air is the best preventive. "If many families whose children succumbed had had more room, per haps the deaths might have been averted. "There can be no doubt that last year in which the improper housing conditions became notorious was for that very reason a bad year for con tagious diseases OA 5 I ' V ".-! ft I f Hy'A-xji :;: m' 17,000 deaths of baoies under one year. "It is significant that we have thH great decrease in twelve years in spite of the enormous incrpase in population during that period. "The important thing is to educate mothers. . "Mothers must understand that cold aid and fresh air are not injurious. They must realize that fresh air is the best friend of their babies. "Too many babies are overdressed and stifled in bad air. Sufficient cloth ing is necessary, but I greatly deplore the way some mothers smother their children in the Winter. "Again we find women who them selves don't, like the cold weather They won't go out for walks and won't take their babies out. Then the chil dren succumb to diesase. "It must be remembered."' advised Dr. Baker, 'that pneumonia and the And i nave noticed tnat epidemics contagious diseases are not necessar of contagion seem to come in cyclos. ily caused by cold weather. They may All the children seem to have become I occur any time of year. But it comes susceptible to measles or whooping cough at the same time. Then that period is over, and a new crop of chil dren come along and they in turn be come susceptible." General Tendency Encouraging. Notwithstanding the slight increase in the death rate during 1920. Dr. Baker is hopeful about the whole sit uation, and offers suggestions for health as well as citing statistics that rheer even those pre-disposed to be lieve the worst. "Although there was the slight in srease, the general tendency in the in "ant mortality rate is downward," she said. "Twelve years ago. when our work began, the rate was 144 to a thousand. .Vow it Is eighty-five to a thousand, or, is the report says, eighty-six to a thous uid. Surely quite a decrease. "Now. there are about 10.000 yearly ieaths of babies under one year of age. Twelve years ago there were yearly about that there are the greatest num her of cases In the season of the year when conditions, such as the over crowding, and insufficient ventilation and outdoor life, make large numbers of children very susceptible. Great Progress in Hygeine. "Generally speaking the whole world is progressing In child hygiene. Ger many's low death rate of babies may b due to the fact that during the war such large numbers of men were killed that it became very important to guard each child's life. The nation then began to give more attention to babies. "In Belgium the rate is lower tha- ever before. England, too, has given great attention to this subject and ha-i very advanced methods in raring for babies. j "The nations that suffered from the war And they must re-adjust them selves to life, and there is no better" way to do it than to care for the new generation." fCALL THe NEXT )f !

"And this man thinks women mor cenary. too. He says a girl always asks 'how much has he got?' before she makes up her mind." Critic Avis does not stop at chiding women for making up. He thinks they should try their hands at cooking, also. He predicts that If all the bakeries and delicatessens were to close down to morrow the modern husbands of the made-up women would starve to death. "As far as that is concerned." re plies Miss McCormick, "there Is always room for improvement in cooking. But poor cookery Is not a modern institu tion. It is a mutter for the schooli to think about. Kducation will be the remedy. "The 'synthetic woman' is as old as history and I believe that the girl so much condemned today is not a mod ren girl, but a survival of an old type, There always have been women who appeal thus to the imagination of men.
