;; first really serious attempt of the
“Women of the United States to send
"one of their sex to a. regular term
“in the United States Senate may be
wmade hole next year. Miss Florence
~Eliinwood Allen. Judge of the flu-
~preme Court of Ohio is the candidate

. likely to be selected. _

Miss Allen's availability for the
Senate is being considered by tho
'powors that be in the Democratic

‘ are some antagonism to high politi-
cal preference for we men. but Miss
‘1 Allen has powerful influences behind
‘her and there is more than an oven
chance that she will break down the
‘4 remaining opposition and obtain the
”Democratic nomination to run
, against Frank B. Willis. the Repub-
- : lican incumbent.

Miss Allen. or Judge Allen; as she
‘should be called. is a nationally
“known figure. She has been promin‘
cm for a long while in tile feminist

movement. hallng fought the battle
for equal suffrage and equal rights
with valor and unusual ability. Al-
ready she has risen to one of the
highest positions e1 e1 11 on by a wo-
man at the polls—a striking tribute
to the strides women have made in
the professions. Miss Allen's first
experience on the bench was as
“Judge of the court of common pleas
in her holne city of Cleveland. Be-
fore her term expired there she was
‘ nominated to the Supreme bench and
.was elected in 1923. She is one of the
six Supreme Court justices. the
other five being of the sterner if
not the stronger sex.
Already Judge Allen has enlisted
the support of Newton 1). Baker. for-
nor Secretary of War, and highly in.
fluential in northern Olllb politics.
Miss Allen also is understood to have
the slrong endorsement of former
governor James M. Cox. of Dayton.
ome of the Ohio leaders lime intim-
ated that they would like the former
Governor and presidential candidate
in 1920 to make the race for tho Sen-
ate himself next year. but Governor
ox has turned a deaf ear to all such
Iuggestions and has stated that so
for as standing for office is con-
rned he is out of politics for all
time. He still is deeply interested ill
"the welfare of the party which hon-
, ored him as its national standard
bearer. but is immersed now in the
affairs of his four i‘loulislling news.

Miss Allen is of such prominence

. in women's circles as to make her
candidacy a national affair with the
sex and to draw illto the Ohio cam-

Senator Willis is looking forward

A student of nationalities is Tim.
He wants to know people of every

Japanese and liindoo theatres here
it he cam-if not he will voyage to
the countries where they thrive to
study the theatre and people who
come there.

"There are no two peoples as ex-

the Japanese. for all their apparent
similarity," says Tim. “They have
different ideas. different ideals. dif-
ferent arts. different recreations-
different almost everything. That's
why I want to work in a Japanese
theatre. And then perhaps Ill be

WASHINGTON. June i.-—Behind
the instruction of President Coolidge
to the Army and Navy Departments

to make a. survey as to further eco- '

nomics lies a story of conflict bo-
tweon the budget director and the
Secretary of War. it lathe first
serious difference between the ad-
vice of I. cabinet oiliéer and that of
the budget director. the one looking
at 4t from the viewpoint of what 'ex-
perts consider military efficiency and
the other regarding it as a. question
of economy.

The present Secretary of War.
John W. Weeks threatened resigns.
tion it his viewiiolnt was not. ac-
cepted. Mr. Coolidge acceded to Mr.
Weeks' wishes and the items in the
proposed estimate last winter were
retained. Now Mr. Week- is in ill-
health and probably will resign be-
fore anothor budget is sent to con-
gress. The new Secretary of War,
whoever he is. will have to fall in
with the President‘s economy pro-
gram. For the some issue is now
involved in the requested survey for
further economies.

But behind Mr. We he was the.
general staff including eneral Per—
shing all of whom thought the cuts
in the military establishment were
beyond public safety in this era of
international uncertainty. The War
Department has looked askance at
the President‘s economy program
fearing that it might becarrled too
far. Mr. Weeks did not carry his
controversy to the public prints but
waged it in private.

“If the budget directors' view point
is to be accepted on what constitutes
an efficient army " Mr. Weeks is re-
ported to have said to e President,
"then you do not nee ,a secretary
of war." , .

The general staff is. of course. re.
strained from differing with“ the
President or the budget director in
the press. There is also a. strict rule
by which all officials of the govern-
ment are bound. namely. that they
must not seek higher appropriation
when testifying before congresslalal
committees. though they are permit-
ted to answer questions from which
legislators may draw their own
opinions as to whether the budgets
proposed are safe from the view-
point of national defense.

Mr. Coolidge is not represented as
differing with the argument of those
whoihink the objective should be
ambient national defense but he has
been insistent that economy should
be practiced wherever possible and
be naturally leans on the Judgment
of the budget director General Lord.
who knows something about army
matters and also is interested in
government economy.

It will be several months before
the whole thing will be threshed out
in Congress but already the order to
look tel further cuts is causing un-
easiness in the Army particularly.

The Army incidentally has sought
to do everything in its power to in-
terest public opinion in national de-'
fence and hopes that the youth who
go to the training camps this sum—
mer will come back impressed with
the necessities of a citizen army. For
without the officers and personnel of

the regular army an expanded mlli- .

tary establishment in time of war
would be of doubtful value.

The slgnlficent debate between
the army and the White House on
the subject of a defense test for Ar-
mistice Day is but one of the out-
croppingu of the Army's desire to
impress on the public the inlport~
ance, of studying national defense
and though Mr. Coolidge has given
permission for such “a test to be held
on Fourth of July. the Army officers
think the purpose is more‘or less dc~
touted 1 because there isn‘t time
enough to make arrangements for o.
mobilization on that day.

The Army is fighting for a peace-
time strength that can be converted
into war-time strength quickly. frhe
economy champions are reverting to
the ideas of pro-war days. ely
that with no war in the offing. the
expenditure of funds for future war
might well be lessened.

Declares New Service

DETROIT. Mich.. June EWAS his
lecently created air eight service
between here and Chicago starts its
eighth week today lienry llord re-
vealed that 111115 for it has cost him
eight and one half cents a pound
to haul freight by all.

Figures for the that six weeks
of operation were shell with two
planes ill operation. alternately va
days a week for four weeks and six
trips made by the pioneer plane in
the first fortnight. there showed
that 63.802 pounds had been car—
ried. To do that they used 4331
gallons of gas and 263 gallons of
oil.

Roughly speaking these figures
show that air freight is one third
or one quarter cheaper than rail
or truck transportation and many
more times cheaper than express; '

'l‘il‘t’a‘ planes. five more of which
will be ready before July 1. when

hour. They cover the 285 mile
distance to Maywood field, Chicago
and return spending from half to
three quarters-an hour there. in six
hours. Only two forced

An elccirical storm and a missing
engine caused .tllese. In the latter
ease the plane went up again. but
the storm caused the load to be
