OF Interest
To Women

Over and over again the ability Of
American men and women is demon
strated. Last week an Illinois wom-
an, Miss Helen Scott Hay was called
to be the head of the Red Cross work
in the war zone in Europe, and will
sail this week Several months ago,
Queen Elinor Of Bulgaria came to
America to look into hospital methods
and chose Miss Hay to superintend
hospital work in her country. With
the declaration of war the needs
called for Red Cross work and Miss
Hay was detailed there. She Is
graduate of Northwestern university
and of the Illinois training school and
for three years after graduation, was
superintendent Of the Illinois training
school. Mrs. Kate Sanders of Keo-
kuk is a personal friend Of Miss Hay
Women have come to be such en-
thusiastic motorists that they will be
interested in these facts. On Novem-
Der 20, the American automobile will
be eighteen years old. In the United
States there are five times as many
automobiles as In all Europe, there
being in use at the beginning OF thru
year LAS, 900 machines. Frederic Up
ham Adams, a craftsman and me-
chanical engineer. is the father Of the
American automobile. The first mo-
tor cars were made in France and
named automobiles. Mr.. Adams did
not think the Americans would stand
for that name 50 for several months
they were called "electrobats," and
later motorcycles" but finally with
the French they were called automo-
biles. The first race was held on the
Midway plaisance in Chicago on
Thanksgiving day. 1896 and twelve
automobiles, all looking like horseless
buggies. took part in the race, the
record of the winner being 10 miles
an hour. This reads like ancient his
tory doesn't it, and yet this was the
status Of the automobile less than
twenty years ago.
Mrs. Medill Mccormick suggested
several weeks ago, to the women OF
Chicago who wished to raise money
to work for federal law, giving suf-
frage to the women Of the United
States, that they have a melting pot
into which women put some sacrifi-
cial article for the cause. A great
iron cauldron was hung before one Of
the windows at the Woman's Suffrage
association headquarters, which was
more than once filled to OVERLOOKING

A. D. AYRES HERE
MEETING FRIENDS
Former Manager Of the keokuk EIec-
trio Company. Comes up From
st. Louis for Brief Stay.

A. D. Ayres. former manager of the
Keokuk Electric company, now with
the Linde Air Products company Of
New York. was in the city yesterday
meeting old friends. Mr.. Ayres came
up from ST. Louis, where he has been
on business. He was accompanied by
Mrs. Ayres who will make a longer
visit here.
Mr.. Ayres has been in st. Louis
in the interest of his company for
some time past. He spoke of his
pleasure at being able to greet his
'keokuk friends once more.

all kinds of silver spoons, forks,
quaint little salt bowls, lockets, rings,
shirt studs, chains of gold and silver,
napkin rings, silver jewel boxes,
purses, buckles. Some of the things
in the golden stew was like turning
the page of Godys Ladies' Book and
reading the fashions Of hoop skirts
and hair bracelets, because there
seemed to be everything there of the
hoop skirt period including the hair
bracelet and brooch
One of the most pathetic and at the
same time sane appeals and protest
against the present European war;
was sent few days ago by the Ma
tional American Womans Suffrage
association, to the twenty-six ma
tons of the earth having organized
suffrage associations. The appeal is
signed by Anna Howard Shaw, JanG
Adams, Desha Breckenridge and
Caroline Ruutz-Rees, and is as fol-
lows: The cloud of a great interna.
tional war darkens all Europe and
the shadow of the conflict hangs over
all the nations of the world, incuring
disaster to all people and the turning
back Of civilization for a century to
come. During the past hundred
years. women have given their toll
not only to motherhood and the cares
of family life, but also to building up
the great industries Of every coun-
try. They have devoted thought and
energy and have made great sacrifl.
ces to develop education and establish
reforms for the be.terment of human
ity Hundreds of thousands have
sacrificed their lives to the life-giv-
ing vocation Of motherhood Yet
without one thought of the sufferings
and sacrifices of mothers who have
reared sons, or Of the tremendous in
dustrial burdens that war will impose
upon woman, who will have to do
their own work and the work OF men
called to the field of battle; without
consideration of little children who
will have to be taken from school and
pay for Industrial toll thus wantonly
imposed upon them by the govern
ment whose duty 1t is to protect and
shield them: this curse OF a medieval
war is thrust upon those whose will
and wish has not been consulted. Is
it that hundreds of thousands OF
their sons go down to death before
the terrible machinery of modern
war that the nations call upon wom-
en- to give their youth, their years OF
toll and their labor for a higher civil
ization? Shall the strongest and
noblest OF the races OF men be sacri-
feed and only the weak and manned
left to perpetuate mankind? The
suffragists Of the United States call
upon the women Of the world to arise
in protest against this unspeakable
wrong and to- show war-crazed men
that between the contending armies
stand Thousands of women and chill
dren who are the innocent victims OF
mems unbridled ambitions: that I'M
