WNS WOMEN OF
TOLITIGAL HACKS'
Are Told to Support Good
Delegates for Revision
of Constitution
MRS. J. 0. MILLER ADVISES
A warning ngnlnst the cnnillilnclcH of
"political hocks" for the proposed con
Mtttitlonal convention was Issued todnv
by Mrs. John O. Miller, chnlrmnn of
the I'ennsylvnnla League of Women
Voters.
Mm. Miller, who believes the votern
t the September primary will function
n convontlon to revloc the State's banlc
law, Isfiued n statement, of which the
following In n part:
"Less than two weeks nro now avail
able for the filing of nomination papers
with the Recrctury of the Common
wealth. August 11 Is the last day on
uhlch such nomination papers may be
filed. Therefore the voters of every
congressional dintrlct in the Stnte
nhould sec to It that properly equipped
candidates file thejr papers on time. It
Is just as much n lape of civic duty to
fall in having nomination papers filed as
it li to fall to participate 1" the elec
tion. You cannot effectively vote for
suitable candidates for delegates unles
the names of the candidates are printed
on th. ballots. ,,,.,,,
"The question Involved In the holding
of a constitutional convention is f-o im
portant that I urge all women to wnteh
closely so that they will have full oppor
tunity to elect qualified delegates. Those
who are chosen as delegates will sit In
. mnrKiiilonf the result of which may
uork vital changes in the fundamental
bodv of law for Pennsylvania.
i bwl
"No mere political liaciis winum m
selected for this tremendously significant
task. Men nnd women of vision, of
intelligence and patriotism who will be
guided bv the highest ideals of state
craft, should be elected as delegates.
"When we touch the fabric of govern
ment we should approach it with careful
hands and constructive minds. Those
delegates will be nominated In the
primaries of September 1!0. On thnt
fame date also the electorate of the
Commonwealth will decide whether or
not n convention is to beheld. Even
those who are oppof-ed to the conven
tion should be 7ealous In guarding the
nunlltv of the rnndldntcs who may sit
in the convention. For if the conven
tion Is authorized, as I believe it will
be. then all citizens will be primarily
Interested in having men and women
delegates In whom they can repose the
fullest confidence."

Thus does Dr. Richard Norris, ob

It was contended thai women of this
type rarely had sons and that their

Blame wns placed on wholesale partici

NecU Physical Development
Stress was laid on the .point that
girls who Indulged in strenuous out
door gnmes were rendered unfit to stnnd
the strain of motherhood. The Vic

mother than the girl of today.
"It's nil rot," Dr. Norris commented
tersely.
"It's ridiculous," exclaimed Phila
delphia society women.
"From n third of n century ex

would pay that the most valuable asset
to a woman in motherhood is her

this is dependent on proper nerve de

the nervous system mnkes motherhood

"Athletics steadies the nerves. All

He Ib Franz Rottie, a toll, slender,

operating on" the coast of Kngland.
This officer's tale of submnrlnc war

In Interest the yarns spun by his brother
mariners about (Jermnny's condition to

was second In command of n small C
hoat carrying four torpedoes nnd mount
ing nn 8-8 gun.
Entirely nsldc from the horrors of
the unrestricted campaign ordered bv
the Oermnn wnr lords. Rottie's nartn
tlvo of life under the sen gave glimpses
of one of the epics of the great war.
Gives Credit to Allies
In 1018. he said, the Allies hud so
perfected their submutitie detectors that
tho U-boat ciews feared to mnkc n
sound that might travel under water and
betray them In some case their
gyroscopic compasses had to be aban
doned. But nestling on the bed of the sea the
crew would play a phonograph or talk
guardedly in the dim light of otic electric
bulb. The electricity had to be con
served. On ono occasion the pcriBCopu of hi
I-boat picked up two trnwlers or fill
ing boats in the North Sea. about 12o
miles off the Kngllsh Coast, Rottie said
ilic
Ihc sin wasp iiRCondcd to the surfucoj
o get Its gun in action. Torpodoes
costing -10,000 marks apiece were too
costly to use on trawlers.
The entire crew tumbled on deck for
action and opened fire on the fishing
boats, expecting to send them to the
bottom In a few minutes. Rut the
trawlers were masked fighting ships and
returned n hot fire.
Hit by Shrapnel
The Gcrinnns on the U-bont deck
scrambled down the, conning tower with
ltottle In tne rear as n shell exploded. '
Fragments ripped the senior lleuten- i
ant's chin and juw. The wound still
troubles him.
As the L'-bont submerged, a shell
punctured the outside wall containing I
the fuel II supply. Oil arose to tho1
surface, plainly showing the position of
the underwater cruft.
The Allied sailors then dropped depth !
bombs which blew off a gauge of a
compressor. The German ciew had to
open their mouths, Rottie said, to keep1
their ear-drums from bursting. In the
stilling atmosphere that resulted from
the Allied hit the U boat was compelled '

Combine Leader Expects to Get
Senator's Clear-Cut Decision v
on Fall Fight
As a final move toward a slate for
county offices this fall, Thomas W.
Cunningham, n leader of the combine
here, left for Washington today to con
sult with Senntor Penrose on tho ticket.
Mr. Cunningham told friends ha ex
pects to return wRh clear-cut views re
garding the Scnutor'n attitude toward
the Vare group and the candidacies of
Receiver of Taxcn Kendrick for re-election
anil of Thomas W. Watson for City'
Tiensurer.
The Senator has had a week to ponder
over the Htrnlght-from-the-fihoulder
talk given him in Washington by Mayor
Moore. The Mayor told tho Senator,
in substnnee, thnt ho must make up his
mind to either support the Vnrc organi
sation or crush It and tbit no middle
course was feasible.
Added to this Is the attitude of tho
Voters League toward a combine ticket
which would merely rcpiesent a com
promise with the old contractor organi
sation Thnt also must be reckoned
wit'i In the slate-mnklng plans, it Is
i said.
The Voters League Is reported to look
I with disfnvoron City Controller Iladlcy,
who is sold to be friendly to the Vara
Interests A decision must be reached
on thnt point also in the nenr future.
