Dr. Josephine Baker Of the Depart

would be more in demand.

To Be Erected on Roof.

"Now, our plan is to induce landlords
owning flathouses Of the medium grade
10 permit a small hospital to be erected
on the roof top. Here there would be
from six to seven rooms, baths and a
small kitchen, where food might be pre-
pared. The expense Of equipping such
a place would be small, the object be-
ing to obtain a sanitary sleeping room,
quiet and good air.
"This small hospital would be almost
detached from the hathouse, for it
would be built on a portion Of the roof
top where it would in no way come in
contact with the other apartments. In
addition, a glass Enclosure, not neces-
sarily large, for a sun parlor, is neces-
sary, and small beds Of white enamel,
chairs and a table would complete the
equipment.

Any one is free TO make guess as
to what common ground there can be
for the Union, committed wholly to
federal work, and the incorporating
states Fighters. One thing is certain
they all hate DR.. Shaw. Are they
going to make up an opposition ticket
headed, say, by Miss Alice Paul? That
would be very interesting.
DR.. Shaw is ready to give another
year of her life as president of the
national organization, and, despite
rumors Of opposition-including one
that Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout, the
Illinois leader, and Mrs. Maud Wood
Polk, Of Massachusetts,, will both run
for offce-such is the grip Of DR..
Shaw's personality, and her hold upon
the women through her lifetime OF
work for the cause, that all opposition
will probably be showed under by
votes for her But uncertainty hovers
over the rest Of the elections, for most
OF the members Of the board have said
that they won't serve again.
Miss Jane Adams declares that her
work In Chicago will prevent her from
standing to succeed herself as first
vice-president, though the women OF
the National" realizing her value TO
them, are hoping she will reconsider.
Miss Caroline Ruutz-Rees, third vice
president; Mrs. Joseph Tilton Bowen
auditor, and Mrs. James Lees La diaw,
auditor. are positive that other duties
will keep them from considering re-
nomination. And Mrs. Mary Ware
bennett, the corresponding secretary
resigned in August, and, of course VIII
not stand for reelection.

Federal Amendment Opposition!

Another bone of contention is the
very question of federal amendment
any federal amendment. The federal
movement received q tremendous i'm
petus when the women Of Illinois won
Presidential suffrage, and if only two
or three Of the states where the cam
paign is now on come into the suf-
rage fold Election Day there will sure
ly be many delegates TO urge that the
national organization give its best eff
forts to an assault upon the Congress
Of the United States.
But the federal work already done
was done in opposition to the states
rights faction so strong in the South,
and that the women who believe in
working for freedom state by state are
more determined than ever is shown
by the fact that Miss Kate Gordon, Of
Louisiana, president of the Southern

emption was included in the bill.
viii Produce Contract.
He demanded a $4,000 contingent
fee from Bowles after the bill passed,
but thought the reason he did not get
it was because the bill did not go
through in such form that the Fore
River company would build some
ships. The witness said he would pro-
duce his contract later. DeKnight
said he knew of no organized effort to
fight the tolls exemption clause.
DeKnight testified he represented

grade and in Is years had collected
