NEW KIND OF
 KISS ABROAD
"Suffragist Kiss May Be Introduced to Phoenicians When Cooler Weather Comes-Caress Said to Be Cause of Riots in East.
BY SALLY JACOBS

If you haven't you'll not have the op- portunity in Phoenix on Suffrage Sac rfice Day, August 15, because Mrs. Eugene Brady O'Neill, president of the Civic League, says it's "too hot to sell kisses in summer"
 And say, fellows, the date cant be changed Hard luck? Well I guess.
 The campaign committee of the Ma tional American Woman Suffrage as sociation has issued an appeal to the women of the country 'to pour their gold and silver trinkets into a huge melting pot for the benefit of their sisters battling for the vote this No- vember" Sounds serious and it is. Lis ten to this. Pretty girls in Washington in sympathy with the cause" and yet having no desire to dispose of their jewels, nor no spare cash to spare, have decided to distribute kisses at so much per. The suffrage kiss is the kind that is different they declare and not ! great sacrifice after all. They say it | is a brand new" one but alas and alack Phoenix will know it not unless ! private sale is held.
 | How funds will be raised, if at all, | will be discussed at a called meeting of the Civic League to be held at three o'clock Wednesday afternoon at the board of trade.
 | Following is the text of the procla- nation issued by the suffrage cam | paign committee:
 Women of America, generations ago a country stood in need Her treasure chests were empty. It was a time of stress and peril. In her hour of ex- | tremity the women of the land were 1 called upon to give their ornaments of l gold. And as women have always re- sponded to an appeal for help, so they responded then and the tokens that were given in exchange by q grateful government are today patents of honor and patriotism to the women of the l race
 We call upon you today in an hour of need.
 We call upon you to give from your treasure store of precious metal, from your keepsakes of gold and silver, that in the suffrage campaign states where l women are making a stand for politi- cal equality, they shall not fail be- cause the treasury is empty.
 Among our personal possessions there is something you can give. some thing you can conSecrate, perhaps a little silver cup kept for love of some child. Every three minutes baby dies l in this land of ours from some prevent | able disease or from improper food. Give the little cup that the mother wisdom of the country may express it. self directly through wise sane laws for the good of children.
 If the thimble of your girlhood' is 1 among your keepsakes send it with thought for the thousands of young girls exploited by greed unprotected by law, in the hot sWeatshops of the | city slums
 Don't be lulled into false sense of security by the prevailing notion that suffrage Is sure to come" Suffrage 1 is sure to come but it can not come this year, in the face of the forces ar rayed against it, unless the women of l the country show by their response that they are determined to have it. 1 little of what you treasure, an or
 nament of beauty, a tribute of friend
 ship, something priZed because of its place in household life is an evidence of your thrift-put it in the melting pot. Send it to the suffrage campaign com mittee in the city hall suare building at Chicago, for in the two Dakotas, in
 Montana and Nevada, in Nebraska and
 Missouri and Ohio. women from the homes, the schools, the factories and places of commerce are fighting for their civic rights against organized greed, organized vice and those forces
 which stand in the path of progress. pr. Anna Howard Shaw, president of
