NEW YORK, March 13.--Have
the suffragists and suffragets any
other plant in their political plat
form besides that of equal fran
chise regardless of sex?
DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, presi-
dent of the National woman suf-
frage association says they have.
And further, that women are fully
as progressive. politically, as the
men insurgents are. She gives
some of these platform planks
thus:
Reciprocity with Canada.
Popular election of senators.
Tariff revision dOwnwards.
A national child labor law.
A law regulating the hours of
labor for women.
A universal marriage law.
Economy In naval and military
expenditures.
Reformed civil service reform.
Absolute voidity for elections
where corruption was proved.
All bills for the national good;
none that would benefit a state
district or individual at the eX.
pense of others.
1T seems to me-" said DR.. Shaw
that the great trouble with oul
senators and representatives is
that the are too local in theii
interests. They are the lobbyists
of small group of their constit.
uents instead of working for the
welfare of all the people in the
land.
"They should refuse to waste
their time and our money pushing
through gift legislation for the
benefit of certain classes.
"The government should impose
just enough tariff duties on for.
| eign goods to secure it's own suf.
| ficient revenues. Wealthy manu-
lfacturers should not be protected
at the expense of the public, who
under the present law are com.
PEELED to buy their goods at extor-
! tionate prices.

would be far better protected par.

ticularly where the trusts are con-
cerned by the direct election of
senators. If they We're chosen di-
reotly by the people they would not
be under the thumb of Wall

the candidate should be refused

while the national government

right to limit directly the work

"The child labor question is the
most important one before the
country today. The future of the
entire country is bound up in the
proper regulation of the work
done by women and children.

Purim is a great day for chill
dren. In orthodox synagogs the
day is devoted to the reading OF
the Megillah. Noise-makers OF
every possible kind are brought
into the synagog by the little ones,
especially the boys. The cantor
chants the Megillah and at every
mention of the word Hannah, =
the noisemakers are put in COM
mission.
In reform temples noise pro-
ducers are things of the past and
instead dramatic performances OF
the story of Queen Esther, OF
which there are many, are given
and occasionally the cantata OF
| Esther is sung.

! holiday is the sending of gifts to
friends and the giving of aims to

the kingdom, telling them to keep

A boy in Oklahoma City submit
ted the following essay on the ship
of the desert:
"The cannimal is n sheep of the

cause 1t has a hump on its back.
The cannimal is very patient, and
will lie down and die without a

its back up, which is called taking
the hump. The shepherds of can
nimals is called Arabs. When they
live in towns they are called street

a journey it drinks as much as it
can to last for many days. Such
animals are called acquiducks
Those that cannot carry enough

OF costumes devised for motor
ing none equals that all envelop-

its easily fitting sleeves, deep
pockets, and rows of buttons that
may be buttoned close about the

Some Elton suits are being

Waists matching the suits with
which they are worn are still in
vogue.
Navy blue promises to be the
most popular shade for the spring
suits.
Regulation coat sleeves are
used for tailor-made suits, and
peasant sleeves for dressy wraps.
