Written specialiy for The Chronicle By ROBERT FULLER Thru Autocaster Service New York, Feb. 12.—Through the courage of a heart-broken father in telling the world the cause of his beautiful young daughter’s suicide, is developing a nation-wide activity to discourage and stop cigarette smok ing amongst the women and girls of the United States. Women’s Clubs everywhere are be ing enlisted to the cause which means that the activities will be well or ganized nationally and therefore ef fective. It is pointed out that the health, welfar^KiffThe very strength -b; the terrible habit-forming indulgence of cigarette smoking by our women and girls.” The social position and prominence of the beautiful young woman who took her own life during a nervous breakdown, due, as her father says, to “the whirl of social life and ciga rette smoking,” resulted in the action now being 1 *taken, Margaret Eliot Harding, 23-year- old daughter of W. P. G. Harding, Governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, and former head of the Federal Reserve System dur ing the Wilson administration, com mitted suicide in her Boston home last week by shooting. Although an attempt was made by some newspa pers to attach mystery to the suicide, Mr. Harding came forward with a statements of facts, which obviously he hopes will serve as a warning to other fathers to protect their woman hood from the danger* of cigarette smoking. Mr. Harding says: “The-whirl of social life and cigarette smoking finally resulted in a nervous breakdown, which I at tribute ar the cause of Margaret’s death. I warned her repeatedly, but was unable to change her ways. She had been far from well for seven or eight months, but refused to heed my advice.” The statement by Mr. Harding brought forth quick action from an unexpected source. It came in tele graphic report from Charleston, W. V.—from the very heart of the to bacco-growing industry and was from Gov. Morgan of that state, who spoke in no uncertain words. He said: “I thii\k Mr. Harding’s admission over the cause of his daughter’s death was very, very courageous, and I think he made it to warn others against the terrible habit. In support of his warning, I will say, if I could stop cigarette smoking in West Vir ginia I would consider it the greatest thing I could do for my state. ,—“I—think it is time the Worogn’r Club took an active part in a cam paign. to stop the practice of ciga rette smoking, and especially among women. “You cannot legislate motals in the people, I know full well, but they can be preached into them, and that is why I think the Women’s Clubs can I render this nation a great service by taking up the fight. “I recommended bills forbidding cig arette smoking in public buildings to the last legislature. They were not passed, but at least I did the duty before me.” Gov. Morgan’s statement follow ing that by Mr. Harding bore fruit here in New York City, where per haps more women and gh*ls smoke cigarettes than any other city in the United States. . Miss Elizabeth Marbury, Women’s Club leader of New York and a co worker with Miss Anne Morgan, daughter of J. Pierpont Morgan, has announced that the New York Clubs have started work to discourage cig arette smoking by women and girls. Steps have also been taken calling on all of the Women’s Clubs of the coun try to join in the fight against ciga rettes. W. P. G. Harding, Governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of Bos ton, who blames the whirl of social life and cigarette smoking as the cause of his daughter’s suicide, is supported by Gov. Morgan, of Wevt Virginia, who says! “Cigarette smoking among women is becom ing alarming and it is time the Women’s Clubs took active part to stop the practice. I would consider it tnc greatest thing I could do for my state If I could stop smoking in West Virginia.” Greenwood Gets Oratorical Meet! MRS. R. O.
