MISS VERNON AT
aOP[N-A|R MEETING

Miss Mabel Vernon, of Washington,
D.. c., sent by the Congressional Union
for Woman Suffrage to Nevada to as
sist in the equal suffrage campaign in
this state. arrived in Winnemucea
Thursday evening. Miss Vernon met
the ladies of the suffrage movement
of this town in the Nixon opera house
Thursday afternoon and in the even
ing delivered an open air address
from a motor at the corner of Bridge
and Third streets.
Miss Vernon was briefly introduced
by Miss Eleanor Langwith and open
ed her speech by explaining the i'm
da, since the question is to be voted
upon at the fall election.
Miss Vernon pleaded first for a
trial of true democracy in this coun-
try, saying that as long as the
women-one half the population-were
denied political liberty, we have no
expression of truly popular govern
ment
The speaker took up the common
objection to extending the suffrage to
women that woman's place is in the
home, and contended that the home
makers are the women who have the
greatest need of voice in the gov
ernment that in such large measure is
regulating the sh;ags Of the home to-
day. She cited as example sanitary
regulations of household by town or
city government, the water supply
that is pure or foul according to the
care exercised by the local govern
ment, and the purity Of the food for
the family dependten in large meas
ure on the enforcement of pure food
laws.
Miss Vrnon then set forth that
| chilren are taken away from mothers
to be trained by the state in the
schools over which the mothers have
absolutely no control, and contended
| further that women have no power to
regulate the conditions that surround
their children outside their own
homes. This must be done by the
local government in which women are
given no voice.
! To answer the argument that the
fathers are just as interested and
give just as careful attention to these
matters as mothers possibly could,
Miss Vernon explained that women
have been trained to look after these
things-that had been their share of
the work of the family, and now that
| the government had taken up such a
1 large share of this work. men were
compelled to attend to not only their
own duties but women's also. The
speaker gave several examples of re-
cent legislation to prove that the
woman's point of view needs repre-
sentation in the government.
Miss Vernon concluded by saying
that the women of Nevada certainly
were not asking for the suffrage be-
cause of unjust laws concerning
women in this state. So far she
could ascertain the laws have with
few exceptions deal fairly with
women. The demand is rather
that women may perform their full
duty as citizens and give the help
their training and experience makes
possible to the betterment of condi-
tions for all. The desire is not for
the predominance of one sex over the
other, but rather for cooperation be-
tween the two.

Verne Crossen Getting Gold.

Reports coming from the Martin

CORSET CHOICE AND CARE
Expensive Ones Are Most Economical
in the End if They Are Properly
Looked After.

The care of an expensive corset pro-
longs its life for weeks and even
months. So the woman VINO buys ex-
pensive corsets ought to know how
to take care Of them.
First a word about expensive cor
sets. They are real economy for the
stout woman. She breaks cheap cor
set in a week or two, and never feels
comfortable or looks well in it. An
expensive corset, made of stronger ma
terials, boned, perhaps more aexibly,
surely more serviceably, wears five
or six times as long as the cheaper
one.
The slim woman can well wear
cheap corsets. If she is slight and Of
normal proportions, these will doubt.
less feel quite as comfortable and
look quite as well as the more expen-
sive sort. Then she can indulge in
the luxury of getting new one as
soon as the old one is worn or soiled.
The expensive corset must be sent
to the professional cleaner occasion

at home, although it will not look
as well as one cleaned by profession
ais. The corset should be stretched
out on a board and scrubbed with a
brush dipped in soapy warm water to
which a little borax has been added.
1t should be scrubbed until as much
dirt as possible has been removed,
and then it should be rinsed in clear
water. Then it should be pinned out
fat on a board to dry, in the air, but
not in the sun.
The French woman follows good
plan. She has several corsets all the
time, and alternates wearing them.
The ones not in use are aired and
then wrapped about a wooden cylin-
der, to which they are neatly pinned
or tied. They are then wrapped in
tissue paper or in muslin or silk case
and laid away until needed. Two cor
sets worn this way wear longer thaD
one worn constantly.

In many sections of Europe where

greater part of the land is owned by
men who care quite as much for
beauty as for profit, in consequence of
which great attention is paid to the
artistic appearance of the farms, and
much pride is taken in keeping every
