Mrs. Mary Harris Armor, Georgia
delegate to the Worlds Woman's Chris

ito prohibit on all seagoing craft, the
sale of intoxicating liquor.
Il think it is pity" she said that
the women of the w. c. T. u. do not
take some action against the sale or
intoxicants on board ships at sea.
Since the terrible Titanic disaster
the necessity for such acton has been
brought to our attention most forcibly,
] therefore propose the following reso-
luton:
Resolved, That we, the delegates
of the Worlds w. c. T. o., in ninth
triennial session convened, do hereby
protest against the sale of intoxicating
liquors on all seagoing crafts and re-
spectfully ask the powers that be to
grant this request"
The resolution passed unanimously.

Isle, England president; Mrs. Lillian

dent; secretaries, Miss Agnes Slack
of England, and Miss Anna A. Gordon
of the United States; treasurer, Mrs.
Mary e. Sanderson of Quebec, Canada
There are 413 voting delegates from
thirty-five countries.
The greatest enthusiasm of the con
vention was shown on Monday after
noon when Mrs. Deborah Knox Liv
ingston of Maine conducted a sympo
sium on women's suffrage. Represen
tatives from New Zealand, the first
country to grant full suffrage to WON
en-, China, now struggling for politica
freedom. Denmark, Sweden, Canada
Scotland, England, Australia and
South Africa all spoke Of the grea
movement in their countries.
Then thirty women from the ter
suffrage states in this country march
ed onto the stage singing to the tune
of Dixie" "We are women voters o
these United States" Each then relat
ed some of the benefits which have
come from suffrage in her respective
state and closed by singing, 1--WE now
have women's suffrage, We have, We
hame." The whole audience of 5000
women's suffrage, We are. We are" t

She said there are seventeen nationa
suffrage associations in England ant
only one is militant. She then denounc
ed the militant movement and wa
roundly cheered.
Mrs. Ander Drew of New Zealand
said she never heard of an anti-suff

FLAT FEET SPOIL
DAN CUP|D'S PLAN
William GoodsOn Unable to
Join Army of Uncle
Sam.

The refusal of the army officers to
enlist man with fiat feet spoiled the
plans which William B. Goodson and
his sweetheart had made for a novel
honeymoon, during which they eX-
pected to visit Alaska, the Philippines
and the western part of the United
States.
Goodson came to the local recruit
ing station short time ago and filed
his application for admission to the
army with Recruiting Officer Abbott
Goodson, who is barber, said he and
his fiance wanted to get married and
see the world
They decided that he should enlist
and go to the post to which he was
assigned, there continuing as barber.
In this way they hoped to be able to
get married, she going to him. AS
married people they would be given
private quarters at the barracks, and
when the company was moved she
would be furnished transportation.
She had confidence in him and was
not afraid that the society life at the
post would cause him to forget her,
but was willing and anxious for Good
son to enlist. believing it would be
only a short time until she could go to
him.
Under the physical examination it
developed that the applicant, other
wise fine specimen of manhood, had
flat feet His application was rejected
by the officers at Indianapolis. Now
Goodson and his sweetheart will not
be able to see the world soon. and will
have to wait some time before their
romance can be concluded with a we'd
ding.
More men are rejected by the army
officers because of flat feet than on
any other grounds" said Recruiting
OFFICER Abbott today.
Corporal Abbott explained that the
man with fat feet has no strength in
the arches of his instep. When he
walks these arches break down and
the feet spread out. A man so af
flicted can not stand long hikes nee
essary to keep the soldiers in condi
ton or the forced marches that would
be necessary in time of war; he said
Not only do they make poor foot sol
diers, but fiat-footed men can not
stand to ride with their feet in stir
rups all day, he said.
More applications made through the
local station have been rejected dur
ing the last month than at any time
since Abbott came here. The require
ments for physique and intelligence
are high, which allows only well-bal
anced men to become soldiers.
Three foreigners We're refused ad
mission because, although they could
read and write English, they could not

to a rapid conversation.

On two occasions the hearts of Rich
mond citizens swell with conscious
pride over the metropolitan aspect Of
the Quaker city. One is when the
motor truck of the fire department
flashes past in a carmine streak five
full squares ahead Of the equally nee
essary hook and ladder wagon, and
the other Is when they are able sue
cessfully to cross the track when the
belt street car is approaching a quar-
ter of square away.
At such times as these, Richmond
youths forget the glamor of the great
white way, the call of the boardwalk,
and the desire to go over the Rhine.
Their hearts beat fast, their souls
thrill. For it is in such times as these
that the realize the futility of their
adolescent ambition to become ac-
customed to the even swifter pace Of
larger cities
Must Be On Time.
Experts in transportation have ex-
amined the belt car line and it's roll
ing stock and have turned away baf-
fled and discouraged. If the one car
that is operated on this line is in
creased in size SO that it can handle
the people who seek it during the
rush hours, it will be SO large that it
cannot be started and stopped quickly
enough to maintain it's schedule. And
if it does not make it's time, other
lines will be tied up by the delay.
So the crew "whoops her up in
the evening, making a stop at every
one of the thirty-four crossings and
still negotiates the circuit in fifteen
minutes, rain or shine, snow or sleet
When the car is delayed by carrying
passengers, it must be run at the rate
Of twenty-five miles an huor to make

PEELED to stop, he can make the trip
very handy.
When the car is going at the rate
of speed above mentioned and then
stops within a space of ten feet to
take on another sufferer, there is no
dearth Of excitement. If the car is
empty, the end seat hog lounging at
the rear of the car, will suddenly find
himself on the front platform gazing
reproachfully at the motorman.

they were otherwise they would lose
their tempers so often that the local
death rate from brainstorm would go
kiting.
1t has been charged that this car
is mixed up in more accidents than
any other in the city.
1t has been declared that the motor
man and conductor have TO work too
many hours each day, thus impairlng
their ability to prevent accidents.
1t is stated by some that it is oper-
ated at an excessive rate of speed.
Others declare that it has an in

Runs Like Real Car.
But at that, it is still the only thing
of its kind in the city that runs like
real street car. 1t makes its trips
on time and it carries every one who
wants to ride. F. Pickering and AL
bert Kiphart, the crew of 303, other
wise the belt car, pride themselves on
the fact that they are running a real
street car, and would not trade her

LlNEUPS CHANGED
IN TROLLEY LEAGUE

Three classy double headers are sched-
uled In the Trolley league for today, and
with the reinforced lineups of the clubs
trailing along the bottom, the leaders
will have to play steady ball to the end
in order to safely insure them the pen

The feature of the league today will
be the battle between the Murphy and
Frampton clubs on Fussy field. An old
feud exists between these two clubs, and
when they get together they usually
clash for blood In their last meeting

YOKEL IS DUE TODAY !
FOR CO WITH JORDAN
Champion Writes That He |,
in Good Condition; Greek
Trains Hard.

The riddleweight wrestling cham.
pionship of the world will be decided in
this city On July 21, when Mike Yokel
and Chris Jordan meet in their finish
match at the Majestic saucer track.
Harry W. Heagren, the local promoter,
is handling the bout and is making
preparations to take care of the
largest crowd of wrestling fans that
ever attended a match in this part of
the country.
Heagren received letter from Yo-
kel during the past week, in which the
champion said that he would leave for
Salt Lake Friday, which should bring
him here today or tomorrow at the
latest. Yokel said that he had been
working in the open air, pitching hay
and wrestling with his cub bears for
training and that weeks work on
the mat here would put him in the best
of condition to defend his title against
Jordan.
Mike has not done any real mat
work for several months now, although
he wrestled one match not long ago as
sort of tryout for his knee, which
was hurt in his match with Willough-
by in the east. He found that the knee
was as good as ever. IL was then that
he wrote Heagren instructirg him To
make the match with Jordan.
In the meantime Jordan has been
burning up the roads between here and
the nearby mountains In preparation
for this match, and if conscientious
training and confidence have any bear
ing on the result, Yokel is due to take

Even at this stage of the game, with
the match week away, it is the prin1

looking forward to the greatest wrest,

Both men have met and defeated ev-
