Any treas ury surplus remaining after these major problems had been taken care of would be devoted to re- tirement of the public debt, with no income tax reduction, but rather with an increase in the {upper surtax brackets.

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.—The old adage, “it is never too late 10 learn,” is being taken out of the moth bags and aired by women members of the Republican party who have decided that being old enough to vote does not mean being too old to go to.school.

National Republican Club, of New York. Supervised by a scare of instruc- tors, this will be the third politi- cal school to be conducted by the party since women were en- franchised in New York state. Its s, ! director is Mrs. Arthur L.

It will place before the women- voters fundamental facts of the political questions of the day. It will also give women-voters prac- tice in public speaking on these same subjects so that they may in turn broadcast these facts still further in connection with the Presidential Campaign of 1928. “As the Republican women were the first political group to open political schools in this state,” says Mrs. Livermore, “they have the art of tnncmng politics down to a science.” N.Y.DEMOCRATS DODGE WET AND DRY QUESTION Eits, §1ate, Doaiboss Stick to Plan to Separate Women Who Smoke Bear Sick Babies Says Doctor CHICAGU, sept. 30.—Sixty per cent of all bables born of cigar- ette-smoking mothers, die before they reach the age of 2, due primarily to nicotine poisoning, Dr. Charles L.
