fishing poles can be used If you have
them: otherwise, strips of square
moulding such as is used in the wood
finishing of houses, or what are known
as Turing strips strips one inch
by two inches in size-will do. You
will be able to get the latter from any
carpenter or building contractor, or
at a lumber yard.
Fig. shows how the end OF the
boom is joined to the cross spar by
means of screw-eyes and a small bolt
Screw screw-eye into the end of the
boom and another into the exact cen
ter of the length of the cross spar. and
use a short "stovebolt" with which TO
bolt the two together. A washer will
have to be placed beneath the bolt
head and another beneath the nut.
unless the screw-eyes used are very
small, to keep the head and nut from
pulling through. Screw a screw-eye
into each end OF the cross spar as a
provision for attaching the ends OF the
sail.
Almost any closely woven cloth will
do for the sail, although lightweight
canvas Is to be preferred II you can
get it. An old sheet may be used.
Cut the cloth so that the selyage ex-
tends along one edge, and make
wide hem upon the cut edges so they
will not ravel. Also reinforce the
three corners with an extra thickness
of the cloth, as indicated by dotted
lines in Figs. and 4. The edge which
comes along the cross spar may be
tackled to 1t, but it makes more ship
shape job to provide the sail either
with tapes or metal grommets, so it
NAV be dashed to the spar. The or
binary hook-and-eye eye. used by
dressmakers have been employed very
satisfactorily in place OF grommets.
They are cheaper and more easily put
on. Sew a belt buckle. strapbuckle,
or a vest-buckle, 70 the corner of the
sail which lays along the boom, and
tack piece of strap with holes
punched through 1t to the free end of
the boom, with which TO pull the sail
taut and k~ckle it in position.

suffraalsts Are uraent.

Congress is still under pres

mission to the states of an amend
ment to the constitution giving women
the right to vote. 1t may be that con-
gress again will turn a non-hearing
ear to the appeals Of the women, but
no one in Washington who has observ-
ed the progress of recent events seems
to doubt that eventually the law
makers will provide the necessary
machinery for the submission OF the
question to the people of the country
for decision.
The first suffrage movement began
in the east For years it was little
more than a joke. The effort to OBJ
tain votes for women finally found a
field for activity in the far west and
the seed which was planted on the
Atlantic coast ripened sprouted into
plant life and bore its fruit in the
west country. The progress Of the
spirit of the movement was from east
to west, while the progress of achieve
ment has been from west to east.
Recently in Washington the suffra-
gists of the country held their con-
vention. The attitude of the residents
of this city and of the lawmakers to-
wards the suffragists is entirely differ
ent from what it was some years ago.
In fact, only four years ago the ma
tional suffragists held meeting here
in a comparatively small room in a
