CALLTOROCTOLT TRATORS AT HONE Women Say La Follette Wil Separate Interests and Govt, Conditions: FASCISTI DOWNS A REFORMER. The Chilean fascisti have won a notable victory—they have thrown President Alessandri out of office. Allesandrl was a popular presi- dent. He favored certain reforms spring received an overwheiming victory, the senate where the reactionary ele- ments previously were entrenched.

Washington, Sept. 12.JA defense day statement issued today by the executive committee of the women's division of the La Follette-Wheeler campaign declared that “detense day, to most citizens, carries the fmpli- cation of provision of protection from enemies from without those foreign nations whichever they inay be, that would despoil us.” “To the progressive women of America, the home guard of the na- tion,” continued the staternent, “de- fense day conveys a more immediate charge, a more practical need—that of protection from attacks from within. “The women of the nation know that the most insidious foes are the traitors in one's own household. The foreign enemy is the obvious one. He can be guarded against but the traitors at home who sap the integ- rity and the effectiveness of the in- | stitutions upon which the very life of the nation {tself depends are the foes @gainst whom the ‘omen of America seek defense. “We necd leadership that e not afraid (o tacKle corruption in high places, that will overcome indiffer- ence and root out inefficienty—in- spiring leadership of any uncommon sort.

A. with Miss Rogers as chairman, met with mem- bers of the Industrial Girls club at the Blue Triangle club room last | evening. Reports of the New Brit- ain girls who went to Summit Lake | industrial camp last June were given, Alda Marley told of the po- litical day at the camp when all the girls were divided into the| three parties taking part in the present election. Stump speeches and a political parade proclaimed the stand of the different parties on queéstions of particular interest to | industrial workers. An industrial exhibit night was described by Eliz- abeth Kane. The girls from the different cities explained their work varying from the making of expensive chinaware in Tremton to the manuYacture of shoes in®Brockton. This sounded so interesting that it was decided to| have an Indusirial night in New Britain. Miss Gertrude Rogers will sponsor the project and it is hoped to have every industry in New Britaln represented with the grls explaining the different processes that they work on. Such an ex- hibit was successfully worked out by industrial girls iIn Worcester, Mass., and proved of community interest. The many pictures which the girls took at the camp were explained by Almf Dressel after which the girls held an amateur theatrical. At the meeting of the industrial committee Mrs, Sterling and Miss Bromley offered to get suppers for the industrial girls twice a month at the Y. W. €. A. after syimming | on Tuesday evenings. Next Tues- day evening the girls will go in swimming at 6 o'clock after which they will hold a “dog-roast” out- of-doors. Each girl will bring her own supper and coffee will be pro- videdifrom the club’s funds.

Now all that is changed. The parlor has been replaced by the living room, a place where the family gathers, where guests are entertained, where the true atmosphere of home is most prevalent, where the housewife of today puts forth her best effort and exhibits her highest artistic talent. More than ever are the furnishings of the living room important; they contribute to the comfort of family and guests. It should be inviting and seem hospitable. Its furnishing exhibits the taste of the matron. It may well be said that a family, its social station and its charac- teristics, is known by its living room. It is a sort of show place; therefore, its furnishings should be comparable with the position in life at which a family desires to be appraised. C. C.
