THE SNARE
By Berton Braley

When ladies who wrote of their right to vote
Were dowdy and frumpy in dress,
Was mannish in type less,
We laughed at the Cause without let-up or pause
We jabbed 1t with pencil and pen;
Though earnest its friends and their ends
They didn't "get over with men.
But now that each peach has a suffragette speech
Some place in the back of her head
AND each suffragette is the SWEETEST thing yet
With all of her dowdiness fled,
We shout "Hip Hoorayi" when she ambIes orr way
She banshes all of frowns "
And We help her you'll when she asks for tho voto
In the latest of headgear and gown.
MORAL.
rut your faith and your trust in that is Just
TO share in the suffrage with Man:
But do not despise looking good to the eyes
And dress just well you cant

At a meeting of the fire department

Der was initiated into the secrets

tine business also was disposed of,
and late in the evening a delicious
banquet was served.
Chief Fred Phillips this morning
stated that the department was never
in better condition. The men have
had continuous practice ror the past
few months, working each Sunday.
They have reached a point Of effic-
iency never known before BY the
department
With the comparatively new equip
ment the department is now in CON
dition to fight the largest fire that
might possibly originate in the CITY.
One special feature Of the department,
according to Chief Phillips, is the In
terest that the firemen take in the
work. During the past few months
a number Of social functions have
been given in the quarters at the
city hal1 and have stimulated strong
interest. In practice the men work
as If a real fire was at hand, thus
making them efficient in case there
should be need for their services.

IF GOOD ROADS DAY is TO BE A
SUCCESS THEY MUST
"Dle UP"

The local Good Roads day commit
tee. which planned making trip over
the road between this city and Rowe
today, was unable to do SO, but prob
ably will make the inspection journey
the latter part Of the week. The IN
terest in this movement is not what
it should be in Las Vegas. The move
ment seemed to be taking strong
when first introduced, but the finan-
cial end of the proposition has fallen
low on account Of lack Of proper sup
port.
Good roads means more to New
Mexico today than any other state.
With the heavy overland traffic in
automobiles that has passed through
already this year, it can pc seen that
within the next ear this traffic will
have doubled. Coed roads show pros
perity, and prosperity, according to
a road booster, means an increase in
population for the state.
With the Panama-Pacific exposition
in view the number of tourists that
viii make the trip over the Santa Fe
trail cannot be estimated. The road
is in deplorable condition and each
day brings in complaints from tour
lists. The Good Roads day move
ment has spread all over the country
and has worked successfully. The
date set for the New Mexico Good
Roads day is September 10, and there
is but one week left for the move
ment to be placed on a firm basis
The one essential part of movement
of this kind is finances. Without
money nothing can be accomplished
A number Of automobile owners
have consented to loan their machines
to assist in the movement, but thu
contributions that were asked have
not made an appearance. 1t has beer
requested that all those who are in
terested in this move send in theil
share Of the contribution within thu
next few days, so that definite plani
for work can be made this week.

At the meeting Of the board of re-

yersity this morning it was decided
by that body that Dean Frank H. Car
room should be allowed a three weeks
vacation, to begin in the near future.
Mr.. Carroon made request for a leave
OF absence in order that he might
visit a number Of large universities
in the east and there obtain knowl-
edge in his line Of work that would
be beneficial to the local institution.
Dean Carroon will observe differ
ent methods of study and teaching and
also will obtain information regarding
equipment for the scientific labora-
tory of the Normal
The larger part of the morning was
taken up in general routine business
The board expressed itself as encour-
aging the establishment of healthy
athletics in the school for the com
| ing year, and although no special
fund was provided for this activity OF
the institution, proper arrangements
will be made.
The Normal for the past few years
has maintained, to its advantage, a
strong athletic spirit, the girls as
well as the boys, taking active part
in the various sports. The health OF
the students depends upon the ath.
letic environment of the school and
for this reason the board of regents
is ready to encourage sports.
DR. Frank H. H. Roberts, president
ofo the school, was formally granted
leave of absence this morning to
make a trip to Idaho, where he will
address a large body of instructors
during the month of October.
