Louisville, Ky., March 22.-No less
than 22 Kentucky women, 13 Republi-
cans and nine Democrats, will take
the stump in support of their political
views during the presidential cam-1
paign this year.
Some of the widely known women
are Mrs. Christine Bradley South, of
Frankfort, daughter of late Senator
Bradley, and a member of the Repub-
lican national committee; Miss Laura
Clay, of Lexington, a pioneer in the
women's suffrage movement whose
tenets are strongly Democratic; Mrs.
Alvin T. Het; widow of "Tobe" Hert,
for years Republican national com-
mitteeman from Kentucky, and Mrs. J.
Campbell Cantrill, widow of the.
Democratic nominee for governor last
year -who died after being nominated.
The Republican state convention not
only instructed the delegation to the
National Convention to vote for Presi-
dent Coolidge for president, but also
instructed that the vote for vice-presi-]
dent be cast for United States Senator
Richard P. Ernst, of Covington.
Up to the present time only one can-
didate has been mentioned among the
Democrats, William G. McAdoo. The
Democratic state convention, which
will meet in May will decide upon
Kentucky's choice at the National
Convention.
Kentucky this year will elect a con-
gressman from each ofi the 11 districts
andsa United States senators. Con
gressionah incumbents, nine Demo-
crats and two Republicans, are under-
stood to be candidates for renomina-
tion. United States Senator A. O.
Stanley, Democrat, is believed to be
certain to seek the Democratic nomi-
nation to succeed himself, while Judge
-J. B. Bethurum, of Lexington, has an-
nounced he will seek the Republican
nomination.
Senator Stanley faces opposition for
the Democratic nomination as John J.
Howe, commonwealth's attorney for
the fifteenth judical district, has an-
nounced his candidacy, subject to the
action of the statewide primary

Girls Have Hair
Cut Man FashionI
Austin, Texas, March 22.-Girls at-
tending the San Marcos normal are
setting the pace for freakish styles
by having their hair cut in the same
way that men do.
The most popular explanation of this
fact is that many of the girls cut their
hair after seeing the moving picture
"Ponjola," in which the heroine, play-
ed by Anna Q. Nilsson, impersonates a
man in order to escape an unjust ar-
rest. The idea of such an unusual
thing as short hair was thought to be
romantic enough for imitation.
Some of the men of the college em-
phatically protest against; the fad,
threatening to let their own hair grow
long to keep the contrast between
feminine and masculine appearance.

ONIN BUFFALO PRIL 24i
The fifth national convention of the
League of Women Voters will be held
in-Buffalo, April 24 to 29.
"The attention of the whole country
is turned to public affairs," says Mrs.
Maude Wood Park, national president.
"At Buffalo league members will have
the opportunity to listen to speakers!
of authority and to discuss in our con-I
ventlon sessions how we as citizens
are to meet the challenge of the day."
Carrie Chapman Catt, founder of
the League, is expected to give her
views upon international subjects at
a Sunday afternoon mass meeting. A
dinner in honor of the twelve greatest
women in America will be another
event which will vary the usual con-
vention routine. These women were
chosen- last year by a committee of
the League in response to a request
made by Senorita Mandujano, a South
American delegate to the Pan Ameri-
can convention in Baltimore in 1922.1

[

Wichita, Kan., March 22.-This city
looks upon Mrs. Crasha Lynes as a
wonderful woman and wants the world
to know about her.
Mrs. Lynes, one of a family of 22
children, was unable to read or write
when she was 50. At 60 she entered
Friends' university here. She is the
oldest and most diligent student inE
the school.
When she was 35 she determined to
learn to read, but misfortune overtook,
her and her dream was shattered. Now
she is determined to finish the educa-
tion she has been yearning for.
Robert Whitaker, her .father, was{
one of Texas' illustrious pioneers. His
picture hangs in the capitol at Austin,
alongside that of David Crockett.
Whitaker, when 17, and Crockett went
to Texas and became mixed up in the
uprising and war with Mexico. Both
won fame. Whitaker, although under
death sentence in Mexico City, crossed

and nurchased an 800-acre ranch in
northeastern Texas. Here the Whit-
aker children were born. None had
the avnae of an edulcation, ats
schools were unknown in that section
then.
Mrs. Lynes of today married an
army officer and they came to Kansas,
where they embraced the Quaker faith.
At 35 she entered a subscription
school, but after a short time one of
her brothers died and she was forced
to give up schooling to take care of
his five children. The five children:
later attended Friends' university.
Leipzig, March 22.-Owing to lack
of funds the famous German library at
Leipzig has been closed.I

Three Welsh women, Mrs. Peter
llughes-Griffiths, Miss Mary Ellis and
Miss Elined Prys, came to this country
recently as aedelegation from the
women of Wales to the women of
America bringing a peace memorial.
On February 19, at a luncheon in New
York where several hundred American
women representing 60 organizations
and sixteen million members were
present, the memorial was given.
Mrs. Hughes-Griffiths made the
speech 'of presentation telling of the
way in which Welsh women of all
classes united to ask our co-operation
in winning world peace. A script copy
of thie Memorial was presented and
then a great oak chest containing
390,296 signatures was opened and the
Ikeys and padlocks turned over. Mrs.
James Lees Laidlaw, chairman, ac-
cepted the Memorial.
The Welsh delegation later went
to Washington where they were en-
tertained and presented to President
Coolidge.

Mrs. Marie Weekes

Mrs. Marie Weekes, of Norfolk, Ne-
braska, has been publishing the Nor-
folk Press for twenty years. She has
been elected president of the Editorial
Association of Nebraska, the first
woman to win that dipstinction. She
has also been elected vice-president

WOMEN GET PRACTICE
IN' INVESTING MONEY
Wellesley, Mass., March 22.-Wel-
lesley graduates who wish to enter the
financialworld need not do so unpre-
pared, due to the installation of a
course on "Corporate Organization
and Control," which aims to give the
student a practical knowledge of the
}stock exchange. Each student is given
an imaginary $5,000 to invyest in dif-
ferent securities during the space of
four months. To guide their invest-
ments a thorough study is made of
the market, some corporation with re-
g ard to its promotion and" business,
financial success, fraudulent stocks.
Conservatism is an outstanding
characteristic among the members of
this year's class. The largest single
loss amounted to only $300, and this
was offset by an ultimate net profit.
Most of these theoretical investments
makers came out many dollars to the
good. The largest net profit was
$2,000 and the next $1,273. Each girl
by the time that the four months were
over had bought from five to eighteen
securities, figuring her profits on the
actual fluctuation. They were not al-
lowed to buying on margin.
