for women's interests as well as
mems
A hundred years ago the govern
nent OF this country was primarily
concerned with establishing its inr
dependence from other nations.
Today the government of this
country is primarily concerned with.
social and Industrial problems, which,
vitality affect the lives Of women and
children.
History proves that governments
pay attention to the demands OF the
people who keep them in power and
not to the demands OF disfranchised,
class.
For this reason Votes for Women
Is natural and necessary result OF
presen Sday conditions.

reasoG for this. Satin Is the cloth
for the gowns for the natron. and by
adopting II the bride marks her ad'
missions into the ranks.
For most girls the wedding gown
Is the first trained dress. The one

If Women Are Narrow

the great service women's clubs have

discovery of babys first tooth.
Knowing all this, my dear | was
not surprised to get wire this morn

cut two lower teeth. | know that
these are the central incisors and be-

months old she will cut the other two
Of this group. The four lateral in
cisors appear between the sixth and

months your daughter will probably
cut her first four molars. and the four
cuspids will come through between X
and 81 months. The four second

through the rosy gums, and can be
expected any time after baby is &c
months old and before she is three
years.
Many nurses and mothers regard
the teething period as time TO be
dreaded, for they believe that the

take, however, as IL is natural for tn
baby TO have teeth and there should
be no illness or anything to fear from
the process.

III ASHINGTON.-The legislature Of
W Virginia is now considering the
propriety Of enacting law which will
do away with a ascent admission fee
charged at the gate to Mount Vernon,
the home of Washington. Earnest pro-
tests have been made by many citi-
zens of the state against the charging
of any fee for admission to the
grounds, on the theory that the public
generally, without restraint, ought to
be free to enter the grounds and in
spect the many interesting things
that are to be found there. The legis-
lature of Virginia originally incor-
porated the ladies' society which owns
the Mt. Vernon estate, and has made
it what 1t is today, and of course an
amendment of that act, cutting out
the admission fee, may be made when
ever the legislature in its wisdom sees
fit. Two years ago, when the legis-
lature was In session, a similar move
ment was put under way, but there
was not legislation. This time the eff
fort has been renewed with increased
enthusiasm, and the no-fee bill is now
before the house committee on laws,

the last French military maneuvers.
The new machines will be ordered in
lots of 20, so and even 100. They will
be Of different types and will be sup
piled by all the leading French con-
structors.
The day has passed when the aero
plane is mere experiment for mill
tary purposes. Only few days ago
an Italian army officer, operating an
aeroplane in Tripoh. dropped bombs
among the Turks and Arabs and was
in return wounded by rife bullet.
He was using a monoplane and had
one passenger with him. The most
notable feature Of the incident was
the fact that he was enabled to con-
tinue operation of the machine after
he had been wounded. His passenger
assisted him and the monoplane was
brought back to safety to the Italian
camp. Not only were projectiles
dropped among the enemy. but the
aviator and his companion made
sketches of the military works over
which they passed.

which has been giving hearings to
men and women representing both
sides.
The whole country Is interested in
this proposed change of the articles
Of incorporation of the ladies' Mt Yer
non society, for in every state there is
chapter of the society. and each of
these chapters has had charge of the
work of restoring one of the rooms OF
the old mansion, or one of the out
buildings. or some particular feature
of the grounds. The purpose of the
society has been to restore the build
ings and grounds to the condition
they were in the time when Washing
ton was alive. This work has been
carried forward pretty well to COM
pletion. In the mansion there Is now
almost so per cent. of the original
furniture, for instance, while the out
buildings are all to be found there.
The people who want the admission
fee abolished say the ladies' society
has been making too much money!
that it is close corporation, taking
money from the public and expending
it without let or hindrance, and pre-
sumably piling up considerable sur
plus in cash. The ladies' society
doesn't plead guilty to these charges.
1t says the fees are only sufficient to
maintain the estate properly. that
there are no large SURPRISES, and that
the society has not at any time made
1t policy to earn profits from the
patriotic impulses of American citi
zens.
