TELLS WOMEN OF
MIDDLE AGE
What Lydia EL Pinkham’a
Vegetable Compound
Did for Her
Kansas City, Mo. — “ I was left in a
'ery serious condition after childbirth
and no one thought I
could ever be any
better. Then came
the 'Change of Life*
and I waa not
pared forwhatl
to suffer. I had to
pre-
I had
go to bed at times to
be perfectly quiet as
1 could not even
stooD down to pick
anything from the
floor. I aid not suffer
any pain, but I was
decidedly nervous and could not sleep.
For nearly two years I was this way,
and the doctor was frank enough to tell
me that he could do no more for me.
Shortly after this I happened to see in
a newspaper an advertisement of Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. In
a few days the medicine waa in the
house and I had begun its use and I took
it regularly until I waa well. I recom-
mena the Vegetable Compound to others
when I have the opportunity. "—Mrs.

More than a score of fine buildings
were considered by the jury: Earl

'DIVIDED OVER
FIVE-DAY WEEK
| Eastern Industries Split Over
Question of Closing Their
Plants All Day Saturday.
ANSWER TO QUESTIONNAIRE
Twenty Concern* Oppose Shorter
Working Time, While Nineteen
Favor the Idea—Was Intro-
duced in 1916.
The results of a questionnaire sent
out by the Merchants’ association show
that Industry appears to be evenly di-
vided regarding the merits of the plan
to close plants all day Saturday, giv-
ing the workers a two-day respite and
inaugurating a five-day week. The sur-
vey covered 40 establishments in 12
lines of Industry In the East, where
the plan has been more generally In-
troduced than elsewhere.
Twenty concerns were opposed to
the five-day week, and 10 favored It,
and one was neutral.
The five-day week, It was said, was
first Introduced in factories covered In
the survey of 1910. Of the 15 shoe
manufacturers replying to the ques-
tionnaire, 18 stated that the only rea-
son they adopted the plan was be-
cause they wera forced to do so by the
local unions. The other two adopted
It at the reqifest of the employees.
Of the 13 forced to adopt It 11 ore
now strongly opposed to it, one favors
It and one seems to he neutral. Of the
two who adopted It by request one Is
now strongly In favor of It while the
other Is equally strongly opposed to It.

Samuel Gompers Punctures Assertion
That Labor Unions Have Littla
Strength In Indlanapoli*.
Taking Issue with the Associated Em-
ployers of Indianapolis, who recently
asserted that Indlunupolls was the
most successful "open shop” city in
the United States, Samuel Gompers,
who caused an Investigation to he
made, asserts the employers’ claims
are unfounded. The employers said
thnt despite the fact that Indlunapar
1 is contained headquarters of eight In-
ternational unions, the organizations
did little to add to their membership
there.
"Inquiry developed that Indianapo-
lis Is one of the best-organised cities
In the country," says Mr. Gompers In
the American Federutlonlst, organ of
the American Federation of Labor. "It
was shown,” the writer continued, "thnt
eight International unions with head-
quarters there are nggresslve and alert
In efforts to maintain organization at
the highest possible point. In many
Industries wages In Indianapolis ure
In the front rank.
"The Institution of Joint negotiation
and of the trnde agreement has oper-
ated as successfully and consistently
In Indianapolis as elsewhere.”

H1CA GO.—It was on the morn-
rn 1 !ng Of April 30. 1923, that
V A Felix, feeling secure In his
name, put on Ills hat nnd
walked out of his Montana street
home to tell officials at the County
building that they were A bunch of
robbers trying to charge him tuxes
thnt were too high.
"Go nnd make a petition In the
County court and maybe you’ll get ’em
reduced," n clerk In the assessor’s of-
fice told Felix, after hearing tlie story.
*T sure want you to get them re-
duced.” Raid the petitioner, after sign-
ing his name to a toriu In the County
court and passing it to a bailiff, who
took one look at the nourishing l'oli-
towlcz, nnd smiled In recognition.
”Oh, yes,” smiled the bailiff, "we
have- been expecting you.” Then he
reached Into a drawer in Ms desk and
fished out a dust-covered warrant for
“John Doe Polltowicz, demented.”
When he explained to the men who
took him hy the hand nnd led him
from bus, to street car, to train that
he was not crazy, they merely smiled
sympathetically, agreed, and asked
him to come along and he would be
all right.
j He arrived at Elgin under the name
| of John Doe Polltowicz. There he
spent a week and the men In blue uni-
forms didn’t even take the trouble
to smile as lie explained his story but
told* him he was a nice fellow und to
to he quiet and get well.
About that time a clerk In the asy-
lum office got writers’ cramp at I
cross-eyes, nnd John Doe Polltowicz*
name vanished entirely. Another "Jo-
seph Wyskowskl, alcoholic," was
added, making two.
One “Joseph Wyskowskl. alcoholic,"
went from Elgin to Kankakee In the
care of a guard for treatment.
Another, “Joseph Wyskowskl. alco-
hollc." went from Elgin to Dunning
In the care of a guard for treatment.
Only the second Joseph Wyskowskl
was none other than Felix Polltowicz,
who had left Montana street to go to
the county building and get his taxes
reduced.
Meanwhile Felix’s brother-in-law
had started on the trail and finally
located Felix at Dunning. Attorney
Louis Relnecker, Jr., went to Judge
David with a writ of habeas corpus
to get Felix out.
“Yes, txe’ve got a fellow like thnt
here," the doctor at Dunning said
when the court called over the tele-
phone. “He’s listed as an alcoholic,
hut he seems all sane to tr.e. I’ve
been watching him for symptoms.”
So Felix was brought to court and
got his freedom and all that is in the
name Felix Polltowicz hack again.
American Princess Sued by Go-Between
\N FRANCISCO.— Ola llum-
phrey llassan Brondwood, Onk-
k land girl who became Princess
llassan, was sued here hy Vn-
hun Cardashlan for $2,500, claimed
for services ubrond during her marital
difficulties witli Prince llassan.
Cardashlan, a resident of New
York and president of the American
committee for the Independence of
Armenia, lists as part of his services
conferences with the former khedlve
of Egypt, cousin of Prince llassan, in
efforts to effect a separation settle-
ment.
Following the death of Prin -e Ilas-
san, the princess became the bride of
Capt. John Henry Brondwood of the
British army.
Cardashian’s claim, ns set out In
the suit, forms one of the briefest pe-
titions on record In the courts here.
It recites performance of services and
n written promise to pay $2,500 for
them. In letters Cardashlan gives
more detail. The services, he says,
were performed in Constantinople,
Cairo, London nnd Paris, while the de-
fendant was Princess llassan "In con-
nection with marital difficulties.”
Captain and Mrs. Brondwood now
are in Los Angeles, though the suit
gives her address as Oakland. Its
tiling again brings Into the limelight
the Oakland girl’s claim against the
Egyptian prince, which for a time
threatened to result In international
complications when she appealed to
former Secretary Bryan of the State
department to secure government ac-
tion to enforce her claim.
Obi Humphrey, laughter of Mrs.
M. J. II. Humphrey of Oakland, had
considerable stage success before her
European marriage. It was while
playing In London that she became ac-
quainted with Prince llassan, who was
an Oxford graduate and spent r-vh
of his time in England. They married
in 1911. The complaint of the State
department rsserted that shortly after-
ward the prince abandoned her In
Paris "unprovided with the barest
necessaries of life.” The khedlve vis
ited Paris and the trouble rppnrently
was patched up, hut the same day the
khedlve left Paris the prince also dis-
appeared. Later It was reported the
prince had settled $1,900,000 upon her
in London. When Prince llassan died
it was reported her share of his estate
amounted to $4,000,000.
Plan Completion of Great Cathedra!
yEW YORK.—A campaign to
I complete the building of the
I cathedral of St. John the Di-
vine, beginning with the nave,
was started by the trustees of the
cathedral in the synod house, office of
Bishop William T. Manning, their
president. It was voted to make a
public appeal for money and to re-
sume building operations ns soon as
possible.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, former as-
sistant secretary of the navy, accept-
ed the national chairmanship of the
money-raising movement. Elihu Root,
former secretary of state, accepted the
chairmanship of the New York city
citizens’ committee. Bishop Manning
will he honorary national chairman.
“Tills is the opening gun of our
cnmfinlgn,” Bishop Manning said.
“Nothing in the way of a donation
will he declined. Once we start con-
struction there will he no pause. St.
John the Divine will he one of the
finest Gothic structures In the world.
It will he the largest cathodial of the
English-speaking rows. It wU he the
metropolitan cathedral.
“Uonstrurtion of Hie nave ns the
first step will provide for the most
Important Immediate need by giving
greatly Increased capacity.
• “Completion of the cathedral will
give to New York perhaps the most
beautiful and certainly the hirrest
structure of Its kind in the English-
speaking world. Among the churches
of the world, only St. Peter’s in Rome
and Seville cathedral, Spain, will sur
pass It in size. When completed the
cathedral will extend from Morning-
side drive to Amsterdam avenue, more
than a tenth of a mile. It wilt he 691
feet long and 315 feet wide across the
transepts, covering an area of 109,082
square feet.
“The completed portion of the ca-
thedral lias cost more than $4,000,000.
exclusive of the cost of sites.”
“Fight the Sins of Women, Not Sinners”
■pw ! NYER.-"We are going to
M fight sin. not sinners, and we
I J are going to Judge less nnd
teach more,” declared Judge
Ben B. Lindsey of Denver Juvenile
court, discussing Colorado’s new ma-
ternity and welfare laws which be-
came effective a short time ago.
The world lias become hysterical
over the so-called morality of women,
hut it has done little or nothing for
the justice, health nnd beauty of
women, Judge Lindsay declared.
“So much emphasis has been placed
on ‘the one’ virtue that the Importance
of others has been lost to view. Pen-
alties for one are exaggerated while
others are lg*<0red.
“But my experience of twenfv-five
years In domestic relations and In
children’s courts convinces me that
there tire many women having the
chief virtue who are far worse crea-
tures In society than many of those
without it.”
He blames principally the general
public with false traditions which
cause It to punish the offender rather
I than prevent the offense for present
• conditions
j "But now we may instruct about
! health, food and diet," Judge Lindsey
continued. "We may say to parents.
‘If you do not see that your little
I girl’s teeth or legs are straight—for
I these are necessary to make her heau-
j t if til and liealthy—we can get after
you for It. These things are assets
in her life more vnlunlde than gold
and Justice demands she shall not he
i denied them because of your Igno-
rance or negligence,
j “We are going to get rid of much
useless court procedure; we are going
j to have less of court nnd more of a
' place of human helpfulness. We are
; going to fight sin—not sinners. We
are going to make It easy to get
caught and easy to tell the truth. We
are going to make it stupid to lie
<>r do wrong. We are going to Judge
less nnd teach more.”
Judge Lindsey, It is understood. Is
working on a code of laws which will
he admit fed to the next session of the
‘ legislature.
Good Progress on Roads
Seen During 1923 Season
(Prepared by the United Stntee Department
of Agriculture )
The 1923 road-construction season
opens with the prospect that there will
be about the same amount of road con-
struction us last year, which was a
very satisfactory one, according to the
bureau of public roads. United Stutea
Department of Agriculture.
“Returns from 21 scattered states
show that In these states there will he
available $288,000,000 for road work
as compared with $278,0000,000 siient
In the same states last ycur. On fed-
eral-aid work, which constitutes some-
thing like half of the total construc-
tion, there was under construction on
March 31 work estimated to cost $258,-
000,000 as compared with $233,000,000
12 month* previous.
Wages of labor are generally slight-
ly higher than a year agp, with the
exception of the Pacific const, where
the same rnte prevails. The greatest
Increase Is in New England, where the
present level Is approximately 80 per
cent higher than the level of u year
ago
The general outlook is considerably
better than one year ago, when the
railroad and coal strike loomed as dis-
turbing factors. Added to this i* Hi#
fact that the designation of the sys-
tem of federal-aid highways Is now
completed in 33 states nnd practically
complete In most of the others. With
a definite program for accomplishment
laid out road work can proceed much
more smoothly.
From latest reports It appears that
30 states now tax gasoline as compared
with four states at the beginning of
1921. Most of the revenue derived
goes for road purposes, and bureau
officials regard this as a step In the
right direction. With road users paying
a more equitable share of the cost, high-
way finance is placed upon a firmer
foundation.

Maintaining Good Roads
Is Most Important Task
It Is axiomatic with householders
that "keeping up the house is the
truest economy.” And so most of us
watch for signs of decay it bout our
premises, and we putty and paint uud
repair, to guard against the heavy ex-
penses that would he the certain pen-
alty of serious neglect.
But when it comes to municipal
housekeeping what is our practice?
Usually long periods of positively
wanton neglect. This is especially
true of our roads, which are an im-
portant part of our municipal prem-
ises.
We build our macadam streets,
bolster them up with a good founda-
tion, surface them with Hie best ma-
terial at hand, roll them, view the
finished Job witli satisfaction and then,
like a slovenly home owner, pay no
further attention to them until they
have fallen into such a disreputable
state that the steam rollci must come
with its plows, tear them to pieces und
begin u work of complete reconstruc-
tion.
Practically all of the nutlons of Eu-
rope have long ago learned the econ-
omy of roud maintenance. As you
traveled over the beautiful, hard
mucudum roads of France you ob-
serve, ut intervals, small piles of
broken stone and gravel. And for
every dozen miles of road there Is a
road patrol with his one-horse cart,
who labors incessantly at filling up tWe
little depressions, ruts and holes, with
Ills ever-reudy supply of good material.
Once filled, the daniuged spot Is wet
down thoroughly and tumped, and the
road becomes again an integral whole.
The thrifty householders of France
have thus carried Into the housekeep-
ing of their municipalities and prov-
inces the economies which they prac-
tice about their own heurthstones.

Native-Born Criminals Are in Majority
s| ETRDIT.- Detroit’s criminals,
pj ^ the largo majority of them.
[ J ure Individuals of Inferior In-
telligence from homes where
unhappiness anti disease have ensj
their shadows, and who, unable to
cope with the complexities of Inten-
sive modern social life, or to under-
stand modern civilization, rebel
against It. Dr. Arnold M Jacoby, di-
rector of the psychopathic clinic of
Recorder’s court, says.
I’erhaps the most startling state-
ment that Doctor Jacoby made to the
scientists present was that Detroit’s
criminals lire chiefly recruited from
native-born Americans, and not from
the foreign-horn, or children of the
foreign-horn, who might reasonably he
expected to he those to whom the
swift-moving American life would
prove too much of a strain.
Both foreign-horn Detroiters and
native Americans of foreign (inrentage
vere In the minority of those com-
nltting crimes, according to statistic
•resented. Although Detroit's populn-
lon is 40 per cent foreign born, the
j foreign-horn formed only 33 per cent
of the city’s offenders.
I Only 20 per cent were native Ameri
cans of foreign parentage.
In their personalities, however, and
j III their loihlts. the criminals, In 68
i per cent of the total, were abnormal.
Doctor Jacoby said. Ih* explained hy
.this that these persons have Irregluar
habits, or are addicted to drink or
I drugs, or show moral looseness or
other social vices.
I ('rimlnuls themselves are often vie-
: tiins of modern society, he said. The

care of Its Inferior population,

Little System Is Used
in Dragging Highways
The trouble with most dragging Is
that It is done with so little system
und with so little perseverance. Rond*
which are dragged after every rain
can he distinguished readily from
those which receive attention only
now and then through the season.
Still, the poorest Job of dragging will
Improve any roud In which clay is
present In uny large amount. In some
localities where the roads are grav-
eled It Is customary to run a drag
over them when wet. This, of course,
is not because of reasons similar to
those which govern the use of this
Implement In the case of dirt roads,
but because the gravel responds more
readily to treatment when it Is soft
than It does when It Is dry. A smooth-
er and more uniform effect Is produced
under such conditions.
Interesting Changes in
New Type of Hard Road
Several Interesting changes are ap-
parent in a new type of concrete road
form, described in I’opulur Mechanics
Magazine. The new form is of steel,
three-sixteenths of an Inch thick, und
comes In twelve foot sections Instead
of the usual ten-foot lengths, and Its i
top edge has been made rounded, so |
that it is Impossible for small stones j
or concrete to lodge there and cause
the finishing .machine to ride high.
In Shape All the Time.
There Is no longer uny question that
most of our dirt roods if rightly cured
for would be In fair shape ut any
time of the year.
Ride in Airplanes.
By the time all the states get their
good roads programs finished the world
will he riding in ulrplanes.
