RETURNING G00DS EVIL IS DISCUSSED Boston Woman Arraigns the Women of Amerjca for Prevailing Practice. AT EACHERS’ Mary Schenck Woolman of Boston arraigned the women of America on the charge of flagrantly abusing the “goods on approval” privilege of the stores. She spoke before the home cconomics section of ~the State Teachers’ association in the city mnnul chamber yesterday afterneon. ! [n one large store in Boston,” she said, “it is no unusual thing for $20,- 000 worth of goods to be returned in a single day. “l know of a store that loses $30,- 000 a year through the deterioration of goods taken out on approval. I have stood and watehed goods come back to a store and the condition some were in was shocking. Some cvening dresses had to be pressed, for they had been worn. Some were in such condition they had to go right to the bargain counter. Store is Defied. “l know cases where dishonest people with charge accounts have used rugs all wintetr on the pretext that they wantted to try them and couldn’t make up their minds whether to keep them. Suits that had been altered have been sent back and the customer has defied the store to make her keep them, utterly disregarding the justice or right in the proposition. Some have bought underwear and worn it a week, then had it washed and sent back. “Not all women are like this, but the good suffer for the unreasonable- ness and dishonesty of the bad. Heads of big stores a few years ago began to take serious consideration of charge accounts and goods on ap- proval plans. They seriously dis- cussed stopping these privileges. One big department store here in the west has stopped the goods on approval privilege. It has big signs up stating that goods positively cannot be sold on approval. Other stores have stopped the approval privilege on cer- tain classes of goods. Added Expense. “Aside from the deterioration of the goods, there is a great expense in sending goods on approval. Nineteen persons have to handle every order in a store I know of and if the goods are returned the transaction has to go through those nineteen hands again. It costs on an average 10 cents every time the delivery wagon stops at a house. “The modern department stores give us o many privileges that we should take care not to abuse them.” In the Boards of Education pro- gram at the Central High school a radical change in the rural school was advocated to bring it to the system of the city school. County superin- tendents should not be elected by po- litical ~parties, but should hold their | offices permanently as long as they do their woN well was the apinion of those who spoke.

SEES THE HANDWRITING |, Mayor Dahlman announces he is for woman's suffrage in Ncbr‘aska and in the future he will make this one of his political issues. He will go on the stump if necessary and may take a stand for this issue in the next city campaign. The mayor formerly was not a sup- porter of “votes for women.” =~ He made this statement on the subject: “This election shows that the wo-| men have great influence in politics. I am convinced that the women went a long way toward re-electing Wilson and that they were moved by the ‘kept-us-put-of war’ issue. I am for woman's suffrage hereafter and intend to work until we get suffrage for the women in this state.” “Votes for women” will be the mayor's new campmgn slogan He STUMA(:H HPSET" Edwards’ Olive Tablets That's what thousands of stomach Instead of poor - digestion, they are agtacking the real cause of the ailment—clogged l|ver and disordered bowels.
