WOMEN EXPECT TO.
 GET BALLOT RIGHT
CA G, Porritt.)

According to a statement issued from the New York Headquarters of the National American Woman Suf- frage Association it is possible that by the end of 1916, 14.157.o o92 out of the 24. .555,7S4 women in the Unitedstates will be entitled to vote on equal terms with men before the end of 1916. This is not counting for the possi bi1ity that before that date the constitutional amendment to the Uni ted States Constitution sweeping away the disqualification may have been passed by congress and ratified by three-quarters of the states. and, so have become 8 part of the organic law of the nation. The calculation is on the assumption that all states now in the rank Of campaign states states where at least one of the steps nee essary for the amendment of state constitutions has been taken.
 These figures are perhaps a little too optimistic. But the most that can be said is that they are too premature. and that it might be 1918 or even 1920 before so large a proportion of Amer ican women will be enfranchised.
 The plans of the New Haven suf- frage organizations for a suffrage demonstration on June 9th are rapid 1y maturing. All the suffrage leagues and clubs in the city-and there are four or five of these-are uniting to make the Q614QnSIEdI10I1s ana EE1EaQS q success. Speakers have been secured for the many open air meetings that will be held on that day The pro- gramme calls for at least ffteen meet in gs-one in each Ward-to be held at noon on the 9th. These meetings will be brief lasting not more than half an hour
 Tn the afternoon after the parade there will be mass meetings on the Ferreau and five or six stands will be selected from which suffrage speakers will address the throngs.
 The list of speakers includes a large number Of New Haven women. and also women from Hartford, Bridgeport, Greenwich. Norwalk and other cities. Miss Emily Pierson, the state organizer. will be on hand. and Mrs. Donald R. Hooker of Ba1timores president Of the Just Government League Of Maryland, and sister of Mrs T. N. Hepburn, has also promised to speak.

Lighted Match,
 Carelessly Thrown,
 Word of Warning

Now that it is coming time of year for picnics and general outings a word must be said regarding fires in the woods. Young people who go for lHn- cheons and picnics on Sundays should be thoughtful to look out out for such danger. A lighted match thrown carelessly or a fire left smouIdering can create untol havoc. Sunday a par ty of young folks 1unched in field near Murphy's Lane, in the vicinity of Pine Rock, and set fire to tract of woodland where the ground was covered with dead oakleaves and a debris of twigs and dry branches. The spread with great rapidity, endanger- ing a. small summer cabin and one or two farmhouses. It took seven men
 working steadily for two hours toy subdue that fire, all on account of little thoughtIessness. There is a. heavy fine for those apprehende is, fire setting.

prominent resident of the East Side has received letter from q
 relative visiting in Washington who saw the suffrage parade last satur- day. He says:
 Dear Mike: I saw the suffragists in their parade here last Saturday It
 was a fine sight. for the women sure know how to march and the colors of their dresses and the use of garIands of of1wers made 1t a splendid pa- geant.
 The washington Star said that night there were 10000 In iine, while Nfunsey's paper, The Times. aaid there were $500 As matter Of fact. ! nave seen more women corn@A out Of Warmers corset factory than there were in the parade. The Washfngtcn Herald. which was unkind enough to count the marchers, says there wers | l. 485 women, children and men in line. Except for as sprinkling of beauties who marched. the bulk were grim, de- Eternined looking women with well formed foreheads. strong jaws and noses that society buds would not carS to have growing on them.
 There were nearly a thousand wcrn- en in that procession Of the type that generally get the job of heinz princk- pal of a grammar or high school the kind who, in the old days, could trim all of the tough kids with a wooden
 ruler after all the other teachers had given it up for a hard Joo Say, saf any of our suffragettes ever get to doing that militant business, they will @o some. for you could pick a regiment from last Saturdays parade that could give Mexico a trimming. if one can read determination in the faces of human beings.
 E. If 30 per cent of these strong faced women are not grandmothers. there are lot of people who missed havang "a grandmother who could show their Pa and Ma how to rear family ac- cording to Hoyle If these ladies who want the ballot have drawn blanks in the matrimonial lottery and they have fs become unclaimed treas ures the dynamic force of which they will deprive posterity will be dis tinct loss to the nation.
 There was not woman in the par ade who was not serious in her de-
 lneanor. and everyone of them be- Heved that they were doing as much for their country as the patriots of HTS. Whether you believe in suffrage ] or not. you would have given them a hand as they came down Pennsyl- ivania avenue to the strains Of martial music, and the music they marched to was the stirring air that aroused the French to overthrow the Bastile. Every band played the sMarseillaise'
 which in the past has been forbidden in many other national capitals. < Arriving at the Capitol, the march CTS were given all the space in front of the Capitol for their exercises ana. While the bands played and the marchers sang, various committees went into the Capitol to call on the lCongreasmeH and Senators.

HOW THE WILD
 GEESE WE'RE POOLED.
(By Virginia Vale. )

 Once upon time the leader of a flock of wild geese said to them. stIt is time for us to get ready for our flight to the North The sun is get ting quite high and it makes it too warm for us to stay here. [
 Early one morning the flock start ed on their long journey North with the leader, a few feet ahead.
 On. on, they flew and looked like a long black streak against the blue sky. At noon they rested in the shade of the woods and feasted on time to start again
 Up they flew and on again ever sailing toward the North.
 All at once the leader spied some thing big, oh so big, and black, flying ahead of them It was shaped like a wings. He called to the flock to fly faster so that they could catch up and see this new bird.
 Faster they How until at last they were right close to it, No. they had never seen anything like that before. any of them. and near the body sit ting down was, yes a man, riding on the birds back.
 2 The leader said: eve must help the bird for of course he doesn't want to carry a man on his back all the way North
 They flew at the man and pecked at his face, his hands, and even at the birds big wings. It was no use the bird only flew faster and the nan hung on to it.
 What kind of a bird could it be that could fly as fast as that they thought.
 They followed as last as they could but. although they flew fast, in a few moments, the big bird-zilxe thing was out of sight

DARING IN LOVE

'.I long wooed your daughter, my suit you denied:
 Love swe1ls like the solway. but ebhs like the tide. He took her soft hand ere her parents He was daring in love and as daunt- l less in war.
 There are soldiers who never show their true metal until they encounter the foe Tn battle There are sailors who never show their bravery until they face shfpwreck, the peril of ths sea. There are lovers who do not realize how deeply their hearts are entang1ed until they find the path of their woofng blocked by obstacles. The harder 1t is for a man to win the girl he has set his heart upon. the more determined he is lowed her at all hazards
 If he is a young man not overbur- dened with this worlds goods. strong of heart. but light of purse. and reaI- fzes that the parents of the girl favor a sllftor rich in purse. but poor in brains, he puts up the fight of his life. to conquer in loves warfare. As long as. he has the girl on hts side he knows that he could win her if he had an equal chance with the other fellow
 To him. there is no such strait as despair. They may forbid the girl to see him. curtIy inform him she Is not at home when he calls, send his 1ef- ters back unopened--but, true love win find 2 way to siarnount these hardshfps
 The poet has old us, Love is Of mans life a thing apart This may be so in some instances but in the majority of cases it takes love In a mans lire to spur or his aanbi lion. If the hand Of the girl he loves is AEa 1< l. that wealth is the golden key to her parents favor, he will throw himself into the vortex Of business with an energy that those who know him best would not have believed him capable of When he can show the prospective father-in law that he has only pay ing businessh has invested 5his money 50 shrewtily that he has not only dou- bIed it, but is on the road to success the girls father will more than likely help him to remove the blockade.
 It is the young man who will not accept no for an answer. but who per sists in clinging to hope and daring to surn1ount every dIff1cufty that pre- sents itseR that keeps his hold on a girls admiration and affection. If a man gives up easily in the love quest, he has no business quitting if there is "a battle to fight His watezaword should be- .sFaint Heart Ne'er Won Fair Lady.,s He who hesitates, fear ing defeat, is lost. The girl who is worth loving is worth striving for. The parents most opposed admire a determined lover if he is honoraiDIe No worthy man should resort to elop- ing with the fair maid of his heart.
