THE return of Lady Astor as a member of Parliament for the v Sutton division of Plymouth, it a triumph for the idea of woman in politic. It if gratifying to wom en all over the world that this viscountess laid: claim to the office on legitimate grounds, viz: the priv - ilege to serve. Lady Astor said .after election "There is a new pint, both in public and in private life, which is struggling through. , By this I mean the spirit of citizen ship and service which was brought out by the war." She is said to have a deep insight into the needs of the working woman and the working man; and a whole-hearted desire to help. Her ready wit, her lack of bitterness and her abounding energy were no doubt potent factors in her election. Although I cannot say. "The best man won, I can say that the best policy won" is a character istic remark. Whether' women seek the po litical arena or not, the changing world has brought them to a place where they are extended the priv ilege of equal citizenship with men, and equal responsibility. Thus, in terest and activity in politics be comes a duty which no conscien tious woman will shun. And to be effective in the poltical life of our country women will have to aligne themselves with political parties. Some i women don t like the idea; they probably don't like washday, tither, but the clothes have to be cleaned. We have a government to keep clean, or make clean, too. and no woman, or man, has a right to complain about the "soiled" pieces in it, who does not take an interest in elections and otherwise do- her part as jan American citizen. Shimsker Committee. A Shimsker committee has or ganized "The Shimsker Relief Fund." About 30 members met on Sunday, November 30, at the Swed ish auditorium and elected the fol lowing officers: Ruby Ferer, chair man; Harry White, treasurer; Sam uel Weiss, secretary. Advisory board; Joe Stern, Joe White, Sam Peltz, Harry Rochman and Joe Speigel. Suffrage Ratification.

They are the processes of building up and tearing down. During youth the building-up process of the red blood cells is in the ascen dency so that die tendency of the body is all towards growth and development As middle age approaches the two forces tend to equality while with the coming of old age, the victory of the tearing down process of the white blood cells is manifested by the slow, gradual decay of the vital energies. i F LO Wakes Rich Red Blood Oxygen it the life givei necessary to maintain life.

Axtell, who is mem bership secretary and chairman for the Tuesday Musical club, which office she has held for several years, is known as one of the most active and effective workers of the club. Her efforts during the present sea son have had much to do with the unprecedented enrollment which has now gone to more than 1,000 mem bers. Memberships in the club are closed for the year. There will be seats available to ,the public in the four remaining concerts of the sea son, but through public sale rather than by membership privilege. The next number to be presented by the Tuesday musical will be Frances Ingram, contralto, and the Zollner quartet, on January 13 1920. i Y. W. C. A. Activity. Fifty-seven thousand, six .hun dred and twenty-two means were served in the Y. W. C. A. cafeteria during September and October this year. That means about a thousand people, mostly women, a day. Luncheon and dinner only are served. A little compilation re cently issued by the Y. W. C. A. shows that this isn't the only branch in which the organization has been working. These figures speak for themselves: ' 380 assigned to rooms through the association rooms registry. 808 men, women and children were met at the Union station by the Travelers' Aid secretaries. 500 have found employment through the employment de partment 29 young women .were given a permanent home at the asso ciation residence, 2000 were provided with a summer vacation ana weetc-ena nome at Camp Brewster. 734 received physical training in the gymnasium. 305 enrolled in educational classes.

Building open day and night 1 Associated Charities. ' Twelve hundred and fifty people in Omaha received help from the Associated Charities during the month of October. "This is only a partial report, says Mrs. George Doane, secretary. "We gave needed assistance to 250 families and they averaged five persons per . tamily. We made 526 visits, gave 592 pieces of clothing and 75 pairs of shoes. The most frequent call for help comes from widows, and usually they are mothers of children." All Saints Bazar. All Saints church will hold its Christmas bazar Friday, as previous ly announced, but the place has been changed to the Fontenelle par lors on the mezzanine floor, from 10 a. 'm. to 5 p. m. "Home-cooked foods, dolls, bags, children's romp ers and maids' aprons will be our specialties," says Mrs. W. H. Clarke, chairman of th committee in charge. Mrs. John Redick, chairman of the tea which was to have been held in connection with the bazar says that feature has been cancelled Slav Woman Dominates Husband By MRS. CECIL CHESTERTON; Brccntly Correspondent In Poland for tba International Newt Serrlca and London Dally Expreae. London, Dec. 4. Now that the Slav nations of eastern Europe are released from Muscovite rule, it is important to realize that the root difference between the Russian 'and other Slavs lies in the Mongol strain which is responsible for that indif ference to life and human suffering which Russia has s,hown again and again. - , In Poland parental control is very strong, almost patriarchal. To this day no daughter uses the familiar "thou" to either father or mother, the third person is always employed. Thus a eirl will sav: "Did mother call?" "Does mother say I may go out?" the direct form of address being considered not only impolite. but insubordinate. The mother's au thority is supreme; a Polish girl may die of a broken heart, but she will very rarely marry against her moth er's wishes. ' Generally speaking, and unlike the French or the English, the Polish woman loves her husband more than her children. Capable of intense passion, she has a flaming constancy which domesticity cannot dull. The Russian woman is amorously ven turesome: she changes her lover with her inclination. The Slav wom an has a fidelity which outlasts all disillusion. The Slav woman dominates her husband and her household, not only in family affairs, but in concerns of wider issue. She is not in the least aggressive, your Polonaise is a most feminine person and understands the full importance of charm. She has always played a leading role in politics. "Germany s worst enemy is the Polish mother," said Bis marck, and in Russian, as ia German Poland, it was the mother who kept the name of patriotism burning. From earliest youth her sons and daughters were trained in the sub terranean policy of defiance, which inevitably ended in discovery and itnnrisotimpnt. The Slav woman, whether peasant or intelligentsia, is a wonderful man ager. She has the French capacity for bargaining, and is a born cook. At Christmas, Easter and other fes tivities she is preparing for weeks and keeps open house, pressing hos pitality on all who come. There are no cakes in the world as nice as those they make in Poland, every kind and variety, miracjes of appe tizing daintiness. S While her political emancipation is complete, socially her liberty is curtailed. Before Poland regained her independence revolutionary i leaders included women, and at the .present moment women members sit in the Polish Parliament. But while it was regarded as a matter ot course for a girl to meet all sorts and conditions of men at any hour of the day or night for political purposes, -it was and is impossible for an unmarried woman to go to dinner with a man unless they are affianced, and a young Slav girl does net dream of having an ice or a glass of tea with a boy friend. This, I think, is the effect of Rus sian rule. The Polish woman has an extraordinary fascination for the Russian, and the official and mill tary caste always tried their utmost to gain access to the homes ot the Poles.

No patriotic woman would speak to a Russian unless she were compelled, and as a conse quence her attraction was intensi fied. Had the Polish girl been seen in public with young men of her own nation the Russian would have insisted on a similar privilege. Thus only engaged couples were seen to gether, and the Russian was left to agonize at the gates of the Polish paradise. t ii n 1 a Nebraska Journalist.
