THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON
PACE SEVEN
WOMEN TAKING
MAYORALTY IN
ENGLISH CITIES
London (IP) Although scarcely
more than a decade and a half have
elapsed since the echoes of the shrill
appeals of militant suffragists have
died down in this country, nine Eng
lish municipalities, many of them
Important, today are under the cx-;
ecutlve control of women. ;
Even the younger generation here 1
can still recall the days of the!
Pankhursts, the mraches through
the streLs of London and the fre-
qucnt arrests and the clashes with ;
the Metropolitan police. Nevcrthe-i
less one of the important sections
of London, Chelsea, has a lady
Mayor, and the Countess of War- (
wick, who haa embraced the more j
modern dectrines of the labor par
ty, now is the mayoress of the town
of Warwick.
Seven other women who are ac- j
tive in the political life of the coun- j
try managed to win in the recent
municipal elections. And most of
them won with ease.
The new executives are members
of the various political wings, but
the majority of th?m came in on
the Conservative ticket. Mrs. L. E.
Bid well, of Thetford: Mrs. A. P.
Broad, of Watford; Mrs. S. Edward
Jones, of Wrexham, and Mrs. Luard
of Hereford, are staunch conserva
tives. Lady Phipps gained the distinc
tion of being elected Mayor of Chel
sea. London. This was a double dis
tinction in view of the fact that a
great number of the residents of the
Chels?a district are artists, writers
and people of other attainments.
. Mrs. Ethel E. Wainwright, for
some time actively connected with
the labor party, won an easy Vic
tory for the mayorship of Mansfield.
She and the Countess of Warwick
were the standard bearers for the
government party.

back the angry tears, she turned
to discover the old gold-miner and
his dog just clambering up over
the ed3e of the cliff. They advanced
warily. On a long forked stick in
front of him, Sheb carried Anne'sJ
tam-o -shanter.
He preferred it still warily. Anne
took it with the briefest thanks,
pulled it down over her disordered
hair and looked about for her
gloves. Sheb draped his lanky body
nenremly against a tree. I
"Missy," he said solemnly, "jes !
you take my advice an' leave 'im

Anne, busily engaged In putting
on her gloves which she had located
finally, snapped a fastener and
glanced up. "I'm afraid I don't
knnw what you're talking about "
The old man eyed her keenly.

with a gesture toward the trail the
younger man had taken. "Me an

Anne's face scorched .furiously at
that. "Yes. I think I do," she said.
"But you need give yourself no un
easiness. Your friend whoever he
Is is perfectly safe so far as I'm
concerned."
Sheb shook his head dubiously.

he opined sententtously. "The

again, "jes' take my advice an'

THE SAFETY OF SURGERY
By C. Jeff Milter, M. D.
New Orleans, Louisiana.
Ufl to seventy-five years ago sur
gery was not safe. Before that time
and indeed up to fifty years ago,
eperatiens performed in any hos
pital amounted to less than 5 psr
cent of the total admissions. Delib
erately undertaken surgical prece
durcs were limited to organs out
side of the abdominal cavity like
the kidneys and ths bladder, be
cause opening thz depths of the
bedy means a death rata of near
ly 100 per czxit. Compound fractures
in which the skin was broken and
the tissues were injured, were part
icularly fatal. Infection was the
almost invariable sequel of any
wound and surgery was mostly of
an emergency nature, done as a
last resort, with small hopa of suc
cess, and resorted to only because
death seemed inevitatble under any
circumstances.
Today the reverse of that situa
tion is true. Fifty per cent and more
of tne tvoal hospital r.dmissioixs
arc surgical. Men and women need
no longer suffer and die from dis-
eaeses which yield only to the knife.
for operations of the most extensive
and radical kind are undertaken de
liberately. Infection following them
is a rare occurence, the death rate
for most fo them has been reduced
tot incredibly low figures, and for
some of them it has been reduced to
In other words surgery today,
humanly speaking, is safe. In many
instances it is safer than medical
treatment, for certain diseases can
not be treated In any other way.
Infection has been eliminated by

the work of Semmelwets, Pasteur
and Lister, and application by mod
ern science of the results of their
work. Anesthesia makes possible
the deliberate and careful perfor
mance of operations, and elimin
ates the necessity for sacrificing
painstaking gentleness to speed.
Moreover, the use of local and spinal
anestnesia means that patients con
stitutionally unfitted for ether and
other inhalation anesthesias may
still reap the benefits of surgical
treatment. Scientific training .has
taught surgeons not only how to
operate, but when and why to op
erate. Careful pre-operative prepar-
ation has converted cases formerly
considered hopeless risks into re-
lattively safe ones, and equally
careful post-operative treatment
avoids complications once consider
ed almost inevitable. Moreover,
thanks to the inspiration of Flor
ence Nightingale, skilled nursing
botn oeiore and after operation,
and skilled assistance for the sur
geon at operation, has still further
increased the patient's saftey.
There is no reason today why
anyone in the need of surgical
treatment shculd fear surgery
though old wives' tales about it are
still widely told. It is a cruel kind
ness, we grant, but the fact cannot
be gainsaid that it is kind in spite
of its cruelty. The man and women
in enjoyment of vigorous health
today who fifty years ago would
have been dragging out a miserable
existence, and the man and woman
alive today who fifty years ago
would have been dead, bear eloquent
testimony to that. The chief dan
gers of surgerly today is not the act
of operation but delay In resorting
that. The chief danger of surgery
today is aot the act of operation but
delay in restoring to it, ami surgery
wili never be as safe as it can be
made until the public cooperates
with the medical profession to eli
minate the evil of calling on the
surgeon In emergencies which, by
the periodic health audit, might
have been avoided.

Catholic Students Urge
Example As Strongest
Force For Temperance
St. Louis, Mo, (IP) Students in
Catholic colleges and high schools
throughout the country have .little
confidence in legal methods of pro
moting temperance, according to a
questionnaire distributed by the
Queen's Work, national sodality
magazine published In St Louis.
The replies to the questionnaire
from the subject matter of an ar
ticle in the December issue of the
publication.
The example of persons who do
not drink Intoxicating liquor is the
strongest force in the promotion
of temperance, according to the
young people.
The majority of those answering
the query thought that young ab
stainers, particularly girls, could
effect widespread changes m atti
tude toward drinking, chiefly by
setting the right example.
Some girls advocated a return to
the methods of their mothers who
refused to be escorted by men who
drank.
"Since college students are con

of tolerance,1 one college man
wrote.
"If drinking were not tolerated
by girls, a co-ed wrote, "it would
not be sa prevailent' "A girl's in
fluence can make or break a boy
where drinking It concerned,'" an
other co-ed observed.
Both sexes expressed disap
proval and dislike for the "drinking
girl."
The students voted 4 to 1 against
the prohibition amendment and the
Volstead act, but all thought tney
should be obeyed. One Western
boy wrote, "Although both are Bas
ically wrong, they are the law nev
ertheless, and command respect and
obedience."
