The society has been receiving from 100 to 185 calls per day, the bulk of them from grippe patients seeking nursing service. “Although some were acutely 1ll| and there was a sprinkling of pneu- monia cases, fortunately so far there have been few deaths,” the society reported. . | Officers Elected. | Mrs. G.

Immediate surfacing of the streets | in the Summit Park area was re- quested by the members of the Sum- mit Park Citizens’ Association last night at a meeting held in the home of George H. Marshall, 3703 Bangor street southeast. The members voted to send a let- ter to the director of highways re- questing a temporary surface on Bangor and Austin streets so the residents could go to and from their homes in bad weather. If the letter would not do any good they said they would send some of the members down to see what action they could get. Frederick Marshall, secretary to the association, read a letter to the group from Mrs. M. W. Davis of the South- east Community Center, asking them BY GRACE HENDRICK EUSTIS. Mrs. Caroline O'Day, new Demo- cratic Representative at large from New York State, was put through the mill yesterday. In her airy office in the old House Office Building, she received the press. She was photo- graphed sitting at her desk, standing up, with a hat, witheut & hat, smiling and serious. All this she took with equanimity and grace. The two things that wor- ried her most were here facial expres- sion and taking off her hat. Apropos of the former she said: “The trouble is that I have mnoth- ing between a perfectly grim espres- sion and a broad grin!” Taking off her hat worried her be- cause she said she was never without one. She told the press some one had suggested to her that when her con- stituents saw her picture in the House of Representatives, without the fami- liar headgear, they would think a charge of dynamite had blown it off. In Politics Since 1916. Mrs. O'Day, who sprang into nn-I tional prominence when Mrs. Franklin | D. Roosevelt broke precedent and campaigned for her last Fall, has had | years of political experience behind | her. She began in 1916, after the death of her husband, to interest her- self in politics and social welfare work. These two things came almost simul- | taneously into her life. The politics, because, with a small group of women, she studiedt the history and workings of all political parties in the country, including the Socialist party. Two of these women joined the latter and the bulk became Democrats. This, Mrs. O'Day explained, was particu- Southern birth and upbringing. Having decided upon her allegiance, Mrs. O'Day started out by motoring around her county with Mrs. J. Bishop Putnam, Amelia Earhart's mother-in- law. Mrs. O'Day modestly said Mrs. Putnam supplied the brains and she brought the car and together they canvassed the countryside for Demo- cratic women. At the same time, being an um- remitting pacifist, she was unable to ] If Your Dentist Hurts You Try DR. FIELD Plate Expert Double < > Suction 1 Guarantes s Tight Fit in Any 1 refund Your Money.

So she joined the Maternity Center in New York City, and there came across such dis- tress and poverty that she decided to devote a definite part of her time to social welfare work. Politics and wel- fare work became interrelated because she realized that only through legis- lation could wretched social condi- tions be permanently allayed. Soon after this her work brought her in contact with Mrs. Roosevelt and from then on these two women, aided by Mrs. Henry Morgenthau, jr., Miss Marian Dickerman and Miss Nancy Cook, proceeded to build up the | Democratic party in New York State in every way that women could. They felt women should have equal repre- sentation on committees and that they should be educated politically. Every Summer these women would work from four to six weeks, going to the different counties and districts, or- TRADE MARK REGISTERED stans, Cabistans, Mahols, CI Serabends, Khorassans, etc., in Terms—Cash. ganising women and, through clubs, educating them. State Board of Social Welfare and in 19332 she was made national committee- woman for New York State. It was in this latter capacity that she accom- plished an unprecedented feat. While the Democratic platform was being formed, the National League of Women Voters pointed out to her that there was no plank dealing specifically with the welfare of women and children. She was to busy to ask help in drafting this, so she worked it out by herself and gave it to Senator Walsh, the chairman. He presented it to the convention and, without to-do, it was accepted. Mrs. O'Day is & well set up woman, neatly and smartly dressed. Her out- standing feature is & pair of sea blue penetrating eyes. Her manner is modest and lucid. She has three children, & son, Daniel, who is in business in New York; another son, Charles, who is in the consular service in the Caracas; and a daughter, Elia, who made her debut a few years ago and now has various interests, among them social welfare work. When asked what particular legis- lation she would espouse, Mrs. O'Day said it would depend on what com- mittee posts she was given. Her in- terests would naturally veer to social reforms, such as workman’s compen- sation and old-age pensions. She was instrumental in having the latter in- corporated into New York State legislation. Military Medals Received. LeRoy P. Hunt, jr., son of Maj. and Mrs. LeRoy P. Hunt, Marine Barracks, Quantico, Va., and James L. H. Denig, son of Col. and Mrs. Robert L. Denig, also of Quantico, have been awarded military merit medals at the Manlius School, N. Y., where they are students. The medals are awarded to cadets for high proficiency in military training during the year.

Millionaires would be drafted first for military service in the next war under a bill which Representative O’Malley, Democrat, of Wisconsin said he would introduce today. Contending that wars are fought to “preserve the wealth of the capitalist,” ©O'Malley sald he was convinced the only effective method of curbing them 'was to compel those who “profit most by their consequences to serve in the ranks and answer the military roll call before any one else may be called.” He named Henry Ford, J. P. Morgan and the Rockefellers as his choice for privates in the first call to arms. Such men as the Du Ponts, he said, “would be placed at the mercy of their own munitions.” AIR-CONDITIONING AND SALES - ENGINEER REQUIRED . . . .
