‘THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, OCTOBER 23, 1927—PART ‘1. Mrs. Sippel, Maryland Candidate, Well Fitted for Position as President of General Federation—Officers of League of Women Voters on Speaking Tour—Other Notes. BY CORINNE FRAZIER. RS. JOHN F. SIPPE Baltimore, Md., candidat: of the Maryland Federatiol of Women's Clubs for th: office of ypresident of th General Federation, is pecu! fitted for the high office, it is Jeclared by those who 1re b acquainted it} her extensive ciub work. With a background of more than 2 yeurs' experience as an organizer an jeader. working up through the rank of individual clubs and State organiza tions to the vice presidency of th General Federation, Mrs. Sippel ha become familiar with practically ever: phase of th. corporate club life. Through her individual club an State Federation service she has be come familiar with the ain:s and need of the integral parts of the nativn wide organization. She hus serve successively as president of the Sor. sis Club of Baltimore, one of the mo: distinguished clubs of her State; a vice president and president of th: State Federation, and now as Stat director. r offices in the General Federa on have added breadth and intimat knowledge of the universal problems confronting the clubwomen to her ex perience. As chairman of resolutions | from 1924 to 1 inclusive, Mrs. Sip | pel gained comprehensive knowledge of the visions, plans and purposes of the clubwomen as a whole, for upon the resolutions passed by the national group the plans and policies of the organization are based. In her ca-! pacity as rman she became famil jar with the details of every resolu tion introduced. As chairman of fin: duties which she n carries on her | shoul Mre. Sippel h: been | brought into close contact with the eight departments of work covering the entire 125 activities of the General | Federation, which contact has give her an intimate and practical know edge of the work of the organization. “Perhaps nowhere in the country could there be found a woman with a more thorough understanding of the work of the General Federation than Mrs. John F. Sippel,” said Mrs. Vir- ginia White Speel, president of the | District Federation and a member of | the Maryland candidate’s campaign committee. “Her experience as finance chairman alone fits her for the job as president from the standpoint of a working knowledge of our aims, ideals and purposes. Her executive ability and leadership are unquestioned, hav- ing been proved adequate over 20-cdd wvears of service in varied executive positions. Obviously, no work of any importance can be carried on without funds, and it is to Mrs, Sippel's finance committee that all of our plans for work must go before appropria- tions are made for carrying out the tasks at hand. It has been her busi ness, in co-operation with her com- mittee, during the past two years to study the merits of every plan offered before apportioning the funds for vari- ous activities, a responsibility for which Mrs. Sippel has proved herself entirely adequate. “Mrs. Slpgel is 8o situated that she would be able to give her exclusive attention to the executive affairs of the federation should she be placed in the chair to be vacated next June by Mrs. John D. Sherman, who has served most successfully for two terms. This fact is considered a valu- able asset in the Southern candidate’s campaign, as it is generally conceded that the rapidly enlarging program of the federation demands a ‘full-time’ leader, such as the retiring president has been. “Mrs. Sippel's election would mark the first choice of an Eastern candi- date in 24 vears and of one from the South in 12. October and November are crammed with invitations for the presidential candidate from Maryland, who has been asked to speak before State and civic organizations from one end of the country to the other. She spoke before organizations at Wilmington, Del; Annapolis and Elkton, Md.; Pittsburgh, Pa., and Atlantic City dur- ing the past two weeks, Her itinerary includes addresses in Dayton, Ohio, October 26, 27 and 28; Dallas, Tex., A New Body Every Day Constant Wear and Tear Exhaust Body Cel's and Vitality RESTORED IN SLEEP Constantly wearing out, con- stantly being renewed—new cells for old—daily losses redeposited by nightly restoration — this is the incessant process of the hu- man body. us we live by the gain we make in sleep at night over the loss of energy that we experience by day. nd when sleep fails, we fail. Now think of bedsprings. Your bedlpfln’ is not merely the foundation of your bed—it is the very foundation of your health and life. You were born upon it and nirhtly you return to it. Ordinarily it is the scene of man’s departure from this mundane sphere, and nature has dictated that one-third of our life should be spent in sleep. Thus in its humble way according to the quality of sleep that it pro- vides, our bedspring may be said to govern our life, Science has proved that man cannot live a week without this greatest of all of Nature’'s ano- dynes. And science is mow in earnest study of the deeper mean- ings or mysteries of sleep. t seems strange that sleep, which along with food is man's oldest and original necessity, should have been so long neg- lected Perhaps this is gue {o the perfectly natural human de- sire of seeking the involved rather than the simple, It will be interesting to watch the progress of science in its in- vestigation of sleep and while watching it it may also prove pdvisable to avoid spring szg and to slcer on a good bedspring that properly supports the spine, for efficient support for the spine and true relaxation for the nerves are’ really the most important func- tion of a bedspring. ce. one of the | | Mrs. John F. § ryland candidate for the next the Geaneral Federation Clubs. th pre of Women' and 11 Paso following the Dallas engagement, where she address the tes of the Texas Federation at its annual convention. % k¥ ovem:er QPEAKING tours in the South, Southwest and Middle West will en- 1ze the attention of several officers :d committee chairmen of the Na- tional League of Women Voters in the next month or six weeks.

P e 'HIGH SCI100L GRADUATES UNABLE TO MEET TEST Surprising Results Revealed as Former Students Fail to Remember Training. Correspondence of the Associated Prass. « BERLIN.—Test examinations con Qucted by the director of the Dresden Trade School on 100 young people about nine months after they had left the public schools revealed an astounding lack of erudition, writes Paul Hildebrandt in the Vos- sische Zeitung. Simple questions elicited such start- ling answers: s “Napoleon was the first to circumnavigate the American Continent,” “Columbus invented the North Pole,” “The mouse is a beast of prey.” etc. Only 42 per cent of the examined youths and maidens knew who Napoleon was, 51 per cent that Prussia was the kingdom of Fred- erick the Great, 56 per cent could give the dates of the beginning and end of the World War and the same perceniage that water freezes at 0,0 degrees (. These results acted as an incentive i the Dresden Teachers' Association to repeat the examination questions, this time on 200 undergraduates of the city’s grammar schools, with bet- ter results. Seventy-seven per cent could correctly desi ite the present (‘c"ntury‘ 79 per cent were familiar With Napoleon, 91 per cent knew that Prussia was governed by Frederick the Great, 71 per cent knew the dates of the World War and $9 per cent that water freezes at 0,0 degrees C. .
