VOTES FOR WOMEN
IN CALIFORNIA NOT
AN EXTRAVAGANCE

In answer to the attack recently
made on equal suffrage in Califor-
MIA by Miss Alice Hill Chittendon
Of New York, John Francis Ney-
Ian, Chairman of the state Board
Of Control, has drawn up a star%-
ment Of the cost of the state of he
humanitarian laws passed by tie
California Legislature in 1918 and
deplored by Miss Chittendon. The
legislature created six commissions,
four of which were unsalaried. The
money appropriated for all six of
them totals only little over one
hundred thousand dollars. Miss
Chittendon claims that tho legisla-
ture created thirty-one commissions
which would cost the state one nail
lion year. Miss Chlttendon claim
ed also that there had been too
many useless investigations. Mr..
Neylans answer is that there have
been nineteen Investigations in all,
sixteen made by the State Board
Of Control. In each of the six
teen cases the official investigated
confessed his guilt and was forced
to refund his steaings. Mr.. Ney-
Ian sums up the situation by saying
that the expenditures of California
since 1911, when women we're en-
franchised has been less than for
any previous biennial period in CAL
ifornia history. Miss Chittendon
said that the state funds we're so
depleted that California probably
could not make an appropriation
for the Panama-Pacific Expositi on.

mated at S25,OOO,0OO.

New York, July 24.-The death of
Anthony n. Brady, which occurred
suddenly in London from an attack of
angina pectoris was a shock to the
fnancier's friends here, for Mr.. Brady
had sailed from New York only a
week ago, apparently in good health.
Mr. Brady was much broken in
spirit, however, having grieved for
several months over the loss of a
daughter and three other relatives who
were killed IN the wreck on the New
York, New :laven e Hartford railroad
at Westport, Conn, in October, 1912.
Mr.. Brady's seventy-two years. ca
reer was an interesting one. He was
born in Lille, France, and came to this
country with his parents when child
of less than five years. At fifteen he
was obliged to earn his own way in
the world He started as cashier in a
hotel barber shop in Albany and end
ed his career as recognized power in
the world of finance.
He turned to contracting and be-
came prominent in Democratic poll
tics. He became interested in gas, and
with others he bought gas plants at
Troy and Albany and Chicago.
The extent of Mr.. Brady's fortune
is not announced, but an estimate
places it at s25,000,000 and probably
NOR, . He is survived by his widoyg,
Irs. Marcia Myers Brady, five chill
rem and eleven grandchildren.

HUTS AND HATS.
Mans Headgear Was First Fashioned
After His Habitation.

1t has been pointed out that the
form of the hat bears a certain re1a-
ton to buildings of primitive ne pre-
-huts. A distinguished architectha as
invited attention to the curious re-
semblance that has existed and that Is
still to be found in many countries be-
tween headgear and habitations or
other buildings. 1t may be that the
same taste, or the lack of it, has given
rise to the similarity of style, or In
the beginning the designer Of the hat
may have taken the hut as model.
In the Hawaiian Islands, long before
the inhabitants took the trouble to
clothe themselves. they built grass
houses, and at the present time the
characteristic Hawaiian hat Is remark
ably like the hut
The turbans of the dignitaries Of the
eastern church are still of the shape OF
those worn by the high priests among
the Jews of olden times, and they are
extraordinarily like the characteristic
domes that surmoun mosques. Again
it is pointed out. the high pointed
spires Of Gothic churches were con-
temporaneous with the high hornlike
headdress known as the hennin.
1t is belived. too, that like results
may be found after comparison OF
other styles of architecture with the
headgear of the period wherein they
fourished. -Harper's Weekly.

MORRIS IS ELECTED
TO HEAD DEMOCRATS
Chosen State Chairman
Harmonious Meeting.

Harrisburg Pa, July 24-HarmOny
was pronounced at the meeting of the
Democratic state committee held in
this city.
Roland B. Morris, of Philadelphia, a
reorganization Democrat, was elected
chairman of the state committee, as
successor to George W. Guthrie, of
Pittsburgh, recently appointed ambas.
sador to Japan.
Morris was named for chairman by
John M. Thornton, of Philadelphia,
who characterized him as a progress
Slve Democrat, who would uphold the
party traditions Thornton said he was
glad to say that Morris was a Bryan
Democrat. ]. w. Reed, of Washing
onded the nomination.
Samuel Kunkel, of Harrisburg, was
reelected treasurer after a speech by
Edward Moeslein, the Dauphin county
chairman.
The report of Mr.. Guthrie as chair
man, reviewing last years work and
rapping those not in sympathy with
the officers, was read. Guthrie charged
that a surrender by Progressives to
the Republicans prevented the adop-
ton of the Democratic Legislative
committees bill in the recent session
of the legislature.
A resolution was presented by Mr.
Frederick, of Lehigh, for the ap.
pointment of committee of five to re-
wise the party rules in accordance with
the new laws. Charles P. Donnelly
raised the point that a state conven-
ton would be necessary to revise the
rules under existing party rules, but

act gave full power to state commit
