WHAT WILL WOMEN DO? IS
QUESTION OF POLITICIANS
By C. h. Martin '
(United Prew Stmff CorrMponUVnt)
WASHINGTON, April 9. Facing
the probability that the women of
the United States will vote" next
November, politicians are seriously
taking stock ot what the fiuuala vote
will mean.
That it will have more than .usual
Importance because ot some ot the
Issues of this year's campaign Is rec
ognized bzy all political observers
here. ' ' ' . ' ,
The strong probability that prohi
bition -enforcement will be one ot
the issues, and that the treaty and
the league of nations will form an
other Is one, ot the reasons more than
perfunctory attention is being given
to plans for capturing the women's
vole. ' :
. Time was when the "drys" re
garded the woman vote, as certain to
be cast In their favor. But from re
ports brought In from various parts
of the, country to' party headquarters
here, the women this year would be
Just as i likely to vote for a more
liberal policy of prohibition enforce
ment as their menfolk.
The same is true of the, treaty is
sue. 1 Advocntes of tho league laid
much store by the tact that the wo
men of the country, if they ever got
a chunce to vote on the league quoB-

RED CROSS FINISHES
CHAPTER COURSE
REPORTS ARE GIVEN
Intiu-enting Fiutn Concerning City
band Counly Dint-lofted In Kinul
Kiwnlnn Held by Clunn Idiit
Night.
As the outcome of a two weeks'
course In social study conducted here
I by Minn Catherine Ewlng, Red Cross
representative iroin amnion ueua
quarters in Seattle, the home service
work of the organization which has
been conducted locally by Mrs, Ver
non A. Forbes, can now command the
annlfctunce of 18 Bend women, who
with Mrn. Forbes and Mrs. Gail San
ders of Metollus, took the course
and received certificates last night
tor their work. General investiga
tion of community affairs, different
phases of which were taken up by
various members of tho duns and re
ported on lust night, showed tho
practical nature of the wor.k. In a
brief dincuHsion, Miss Ewlng out
lined the purpose of home service
work for the benefit of the visitors
who attended the closing season of
the clans in the county court room.
The, Red Cross, she explained, does
not endorse merely palliative meas
ures, but seeks the causes of social
Ills, believing that only In this way
can a permanent cure be effected.
In the. reports which followed Miss
Ewlng's address.lhe "Know year
your community better" study start
ed with the findings ot Mrs. Mary E.
Caldwell concerning the city's popu-
. lutlon, which was given at between
I 4500 and 10,000. Mayor J. A. Eas-
tes, one ot the visitors at the last ses
sion- of the elfins, estimated the total
number living here at approximately
6300.
School Tax Lnrce.
Mrs. Paul C. King reported lumber
manufacture as the chief Industry
of Bend, with no seasonal dullness,
little or no unemployment and no
race segregation.
As a result ot her, investigation or
the courts. Mrs. John Runge stated
that partial statistics for the last
two years showed 137 convictions orft
of 162 arrests. 33 men and 22 women
ordered out of town, and 150 juve
nile arrests for various causes. Out
ot eight juvenile cases handled by
the county court, seven had been
boys, and of these seven, two had
been paroled, she said.

tion, would be overwhelmingly for ft
) as a war preventive.
But political scouts report that the
women are more enthusiastic about
the treaty than the men, but thet
boti nran and women want some kind
oof league or organization that will
prevent war.
So that when the political wise
tnen here sit down to figure out the
effect of the women's votes this year,
they can't 'do it. They say the old
saying that women will vote as the
men vote has been exploded, and
that the women will form ' an inde
pendent electorate. Not only are
they Independent in their political
views, but they are not as a class of
voters united under one banner or
on one platform, or behind one set
of jsBues. If they were, they could
be classified and the effect of their
votes on any particular Issue might
In a degree be measured, politicians
said. But as things stand, It women
got the vote next Novomber, they are
due to bo "courted" by both parties
most assiduously. . v
Women speakers will be sent out
in large numbers, to work, with small
audiences of clubwomen, and civic
oorganizations of women. . ;
In presenting campaign issues, the,
J woman vote will be played up to
, on the cost of living and kindred is
1 sues, political leaders said. - 1
