SUFFRAGE LEAGUE
FORMED TO SECURE
VOTE IN DISTRICT
Active Publicity Campaign
Will Be Carried on by
New Society.

Proposing to put up a strong fight
Tor suffrage In the District, the Dis
trict of Columbia Suffrage League was
organized yesterday. The organization
OF the league was the result of quiet
work that has been going on for some
time by DR.. Thomas e. Will and others
interested in the movement. and the
interest shown at the opening meeting
was said to be encouraging to the pro-
moters. The meeting was held in DR..
Wills office, 800 G street. An executive
committee was chosen. composed of
DR.. Will. Roscoe Jenkins, of the Treas
ury Department, who was also elected
treasurer; Mrs. Jennie L. Monroe. Of
the Land Office: III. o. Skinner and
Louis Kopelin. Other persons at the
meeting were w. G.. Mckenzie, of the
War Department; e. ]. Dakin, the in
dustrial educator, and e. w. Oyster,
who has been a worker for District
suffrage for many years.
DR.. Will, who will have active charge
Of the work. plans to begin vigorous
campaign among the citizens associa-
tions as soon as these bodies resume
their sessions.
Plan Mass Meeting.
Meanwhile a meeting will soon be
called to re-enlist the old workers and
interest others who sympathize with
the movement for District home rule
This meeting will be followed, 1t Is
said, by large mass meetings and other
public demonstrations.
The new league plans first to demand
home rule. According to DR.. VIII, there
are q great many people in the Dis
trict who do not approve the present
method Of appointing the Commission
ers and who are in favor Of having
them elected by the people, just as they
are in every other city in America.
1.-THE time is now ripe" said DR.. VIII,
"for pushing District suffrage to the
limit. The people of the District are
entitled to self-government. Their poll
tical rights were taken away from them
in 1874 without their consent, and they
have never given their consent.
Sentiment Different Now.
'sThe state of public sentiment is now
widely different from the time when
other attempts for District suffrage
were made. The widespread demand for
popular government, for the overthrow
of bosses, for the direct primary, popu-
lar election of Senators, initiative. refer
endum, recall-all show that a new era
is upon u.s."
The league plans to work chiefly, for
the present, through publicity. and bull
letins will be sent to progressive papers
all over the United States, appealing
to the people to bring pressure on Con-
gress to annex the District Of Column
bia to the United States"
DR.. Will thinks objections to home
rule for the District because of the
"exciusive legislation clause in the
Constitution, or because of the large
: percentage of colored men in the DIS.
frict, or because of the "half-and-half'
system of taxation, are unsound. and

can be quickly disproved. He Is san
gulne over the prospects for success OF
District home rule.
Home Rule Comes First.
After home rule has been accom-
plished, and not before, DR.. Will thinks
the league should turn Its attention to
District representation in Congress.
Home rule is. in his opinion. more i'm
portant at present that representation
in the national assembly.
Another impetus to the District repre-
sentation was the strong stand taken
In favor of 1t at the Progressive mass
meeting in Armory Hall Friday night.
Roy G, Claflin, chairman of the COM
mittee on laws and legislation of one
of the leading citizens associations, has
worked constantly for more than year
on the propaganda. The proposition was
given an emphatic Endorsement at the

SANTA CLAUS TO GIVE AUTOMO- RIL LES TO A FEW LUCKY ONES

Several letters to Santa Claus were mailed during the past week by ardent motorists for automobiles and from what can be learned from local dealers the dear old Santy is to bring few here for presents. Of course, Santa cannot bring the cars on his reindeer sled from his home, as that would be somewhat bur 0ensome. The idol of all children-and q few -ups-however, has made ar engagements with local dealers to hold a few cars for him. He placed orders dur ing the week by wireless with several dealers. The front door of all the dealers so honored by Santa Claus will be left | open Christmas eve night. When every l thing is snugly asleep the dear old fellow 1 will silently enter the garages and will

TRUCKS USED FOR
 MOTION PICTURE SHOW

Every now and then the automobile is seen and heard of serving in some other way than the means of transportation, says Mir. Smallwood of the Chicago Pneu- matic Tool company, 534 Brown Marx building, Birmingham Frequently the gasoline motor in an automobile is seen on the streets of city saving wood and again one sees one used to operate a grinding stone, but the latest use known for the auto is the operating of moving picture machine, which has been adapted by l.. $. Davidson of Portland, Ore
 MT Davidson purchased a Little Giant truck and with the power from the gaso- line motor operates 110 volt electric dy- namo. Which generates the electricity to run the motion picture machine and one arc light. MT. Davidson left Sunday for lis first trip and will show in all the small towns throughout the state where they have no electric light.

Shopping in China

From IeSlie'S weekly
 When one starts out in Canton China, for day of shopping a sedan chair must be hired for the occasion and a lunch packed and taken along Many of the shops are in distant quar- ters of the city, and Canton has no restaurants where tourists could safely get refreshment.
 Then the three bearers for each chair will have to be engaged and bargained with, but the guide will do this and will also act as interpreter in the stores, arranging a squeeze" or dis count for himself with the proprietor at the same time.
 In Canton there are no factories and no middlemen. Everything is made on the premises. which serve as store, warehouse, factory and residence com bined; thus production is astonishingly cheap. The owner of the store super vlses, if he does not assist in, the mak- ing of everything he sells, except, of course, in the few places where import
 ed goods are sold. There are no factory laws. nor is education compulsory among the Chi nese, and in every store one sees the children becoming adopts in the same handicraft in which their parents are skilled, for the Chinese are a conserva- tive race, and some follow in the foot steps of their fathers as part of the natural order of things.
 In Canton each trade is confined to one quarter of the city, and practically to one street In the course of time the street has taken the name of the industry, and thus we find such streets as Tv Sing Kai, or Jade Stone street, and Sai To Cho ri, the street of black wood furniture.
 A Cantonese store<eeper scorns to
 press his goods on a foreigner. In fact, he gives so little encoura cement to buy that it seems as though he would all most prefer not to sell anything just then. It takes time to get accustomed to this
 indifference. especially if one is newly from the persuasive persistency of the Indian or Arab trader. However, a Chinaman will show anything he has in his store, and admiration of his wares is a sure way to his greater friendli- ness.
 O course to think of Canton from the feminine point of view is to think silks and embroideries. Cantonese silks are the most beautiful and dura .
 ble in the world, and the marvel is
 that so much beauty can be evolved amid such sordid surroundings. I'm agine a narrow alley-like street, un- clean and malodorous. On either side' through the open doorways one peers info din, and dusty interiors almost filled with the clumsy wooden hand looms, and here the family lives also, and the babies disport themselves on inc ill-kept floors. But the SILKS do not appear to suffer from the general dinginess, and although the range of dies is comparatively few, the colors are unequalled for richness ana beauty.

CADILLACS ARRIVING WITH
 UNUSUAL FREQUENCY

II was announced yesterday by the Cadillac officials here that the traHlc congestion in Detroit which has robbed the local dealers of spedey deliveries has been broken and the machines are coming in fine now.

THE AUTOMOBILE OUTPUT THIS
 SEASON OVER 60G,000

The following expert information has been given out by the Page-Detroit com pany in this city:
 "The output of Americas motor car industry for 1913, according to figures compiled recently by a leading automo- bile trade paper, will exceed 6000O0 cars, more than twice as many as were built in 1912.
 "It is marvellous growth in produc- ton. And there is also a very marked improvement in the cars themselves. More advanced features have been added to cars for 1913 than have been added In the three previous years.
 Large scale production has decreased ia actory costs through quantitative buy ing and greater efficiency in handling. The manufacturer thus has increased his possibilities and is in position to either pocket the profits, reduce the price of his car in proportion to it's reduction in cost
 or maintain his price and furnish addi- l tional equipment or other mechanical features, thus offering greater value for the money. This latter has seemed the only proper way to meet the conditions
 for every reputable manufacturer today 1 is giving more car for the money.
 'There is a general tendency to include self-starters. electric lights. longer wheel
 base, more power and more features that
 add to convenience. The Paige '36 is one of the cars that eXcmplifes this ten dency It has a four cylinder, fX5 motor with cylinders cast en bloc, enclosed valves. silent chain drive for camshaft
 pump and generator, Gray X Davis cleo
 tric starting and lighting system, Bosch ignition. left side drive center control,
 11s inch wheel base, 3ixi inch tires. 10 inch 1 tilted cushions.
 More quality and value has been put l into 19lS automobiles than has ever been | added in any other single year. But a
 universal demand for any product ul- 1 timately results in an automatic read
 iustment of prices that represent actual
 value and the automobile industry is to-
 day experiencing that condition l Altogether it is condition that means
 greatest advancement for the industry.
