H|KERS MAKE
| MANY CONVERTS
suffragists Happy, Declaring
Three-Day Trip Through
a State a Success.

$As m educational campaign our
tire days hike has been a glorious
success said Mrs. Abraham Van
Wrinkle, president of the Women's
Political Union of Ne,S Jersey, when
the mixers returned TO Newark early
today with banners spattered by rain
but still bravely displaying the legend,
"Votes for Women
EVEN nature yas with us, she
added. "Three days Of sunshine and
then just enough rain to settle the
dust for the homeward trip"
The storm came upon the mixers
in the midst of a large meeting on
the main thoroughfare AT Princeton
last night. Mrs. Van Wrinkle. who
was then addressing The crowd, put
raineoat over her shoulders and
continued her speech.
Immediately upon arriving At
Princeton Mrs. Van Ninl1ie and Mrs.
Michael j. O,Shaushnessey called at
the home Of President Hibben TO see
his daughter, Miss Elizabeth Hibben,
who, it Is said, is in sympathy with
the suffrage movement, though it is
reported the president of the univer-
sity is opposed to it. Miss Hibben
was not at home, SO it was the
mixers We're not able to enroll her
as an avowed suffragist.
Dinner at tho Princeton Inn formed
a pleasant Intern ssion for the
Princeton members of the portion of
the hike, consisting Of Mrs.
o'Shaughnessey and Mrs. Harold
Wright Hack, who had left the party
at Morristown Thursday, rejoining it
at Pennington on the following day;
Mrs. Van Wrinkle and DR.. Bohn.
To the question asked in several of
the towns concerning the suffragists
attitude toward the saloon question,
Mrs Van Wrinkle declared that If the
saloons are closed in any locality It
will be, not because of the action OF
the suffragists, but because the
saloons themselves are rotten and are
undermining the strength of the peo-
pie. In her opinion, she added, some
saloonkeepers are as good as min
listers.
In Pennington. where the women
we're entertained by the local branch,
Prosecutor Kuhl was prevailed upon
by one of the mixers TO sign SYM
pathizer's slip. He became so en-
thusiastic in the movement that he
went among the audience urging
others to sign The same spirit was
shown at Clinton, where the proprie-
tor of the Union House signed slip
and procured sympathizers among the
employees of the hotel
This hike, the suffragists declared,
Is the first of many educational cam
paigns which will be conducted be-
fore the fall of 1915, Throughout the
State.

Essex county. This enabled the
committee to pay for the work on
completion The pavilion is called
The Smith-Ely Shelter House in
respect to the memory of the donor.
Another valuable addition is a con-
crete swimming pool, sanitary and
divided by a dam for the safety of
little tots. Much remains to be done
before New Fernwood can be consid-
cred ideal There is great need of a
cottage or bungalow for use of moth
ers with sick or young babies, thus
relieving the dormitoTies in the main
building. Daily routine at New
Fernwood is somewhat varied. Chill
dren are given full liberty in use of
the ten acres of grounds. Only such
restrictions are imposed as are neces-
sary for system and discipline. Break
fast is served at T. dinner at - and
supper at 5. At in the evening all
go tc chapel for brief devotional eX-
ercises conducted by the matron.
Sunday afternoon a service is con-
Quoted by chaplain, an EndeaYorer

Keeping down the cost of mainte-
nance is the smallness of the salary
list of the home. There are but four
intendent in charge of the home, two
matrons and one cook, for the sum-
mer months $125 a month in all. Of
ficerS and committees are not paid,
and never have been compensated.
Their services are contributed for the
happiness and welfare Of the little
children and weary mothers. The
committee was handicapped toward
the close of last season on account of
| lack of funds. and although it con-
tinued TO accept guests TO the full ca
pacity of the home, there were some
unpaid bills when the last party de-
parted for home.
The work is sustained altogether by
voluntary contributions, through So
cieties and direct from individuals,
and the organization appeals to all
friends of the worthy poor for finan-
cial help. Five dollars will send two
poor boys or girls or sick mothers for
one week each, or $40 will send two
boys, girls or sick mothers for two
weeks each, while $50 will support a
child for the entire season, and SlOo
will send forty people to New Fern
wood for one week.
