Arguments Advanced
 By Anti -Suffragists

(By John H. Buck Press Cha1rnlan'
 The Connecticut Association Op-
 posed to Woman Suffraga)
 stParasite! Slave! Rondwoman!' z. These are the epithets commonly hurled by feminists at the women who accepted that sphere of life to which it has pleased God to call them. The Suffragette felt herself ordained to point the way to freedom and a broader opportunity. How has she succeeded? Admitting for the sake of argument that womanss po- sition is in all respects intolerablea in what practical concrete way are the fe,rninists improving that position by their exaggerated demands and pre- ksumptuous assertions?
 They demand equal pay in all pro- fessi ons where women work side by side with men and the result ofs this in many cases is to close professions to women They demand the aboli- ton Of maintenance and dover and the result of this is to make married women with children dependent on the good will of this husbands 1unt1l such time as Socialism shall be uni versal1. They demand more profes- siona1 opportunities-and the result of this is lowered wages and fewer matrimonial opportunities.
 The Suffragists for all their mater ialism lack common sense and the actual truth of the matter is that if all the measures they advocate were to come to pass woman would indeed have reduced herself to a. veritable bondwonan, having with a folly un- paral1eled in history signed away her own freedom and bent her neck to the yoke. She cannot sign away her woman nature or her sex disabilities but she can make industrial slaves and dependent wives and deserted mothers. And this would not in any way be out of accord with the tradi- tional tendency of woman. It is merely revived Suttee after all. This tendency to martyrdom has been the greatest obstacle in woman'S pro- gress. It is form of hysteria and resists all remedies.
 The only true freedom lies in ac- cepting our limitations and working cheerfu11y inside them. Mans real superiority of strength lies in the fact that he has always done this. There is no bondage like illusion.

Parish, southern Louisiana. A small production comes from surface de- posits in the dry climates of Utah and California. In 1913 the market ed production of rock salt in the Unit ed States was 1,062,291 short tons, valued at $1,96S,5 ,567.
 The processes employed at the pres ent time in the manufacture of salt by evaporation are solar evaporation, direct heat evaporation, steam evapo- ration and vacuum pan evaporation. Salt is made by one or more of these processes in the great majority of the sa1t-producing States. California is unique among these States in that tn e great bulk of the salt produced in that State comes from sea water, being obtained by. solar evaporation on San Francisco Bay, near Long Beach, and near San Diego.
 Michigan ranked first among the saIt-producins States in 1913 in both quantity and value of production, fol- lowed by New York, Ohio, and kansas in the order named. Details regard ing the salt industry in these and the other salt-produGfng States are given in 0 pamphlet on the salt and bro n1ide industry in 1918 recently issued by the United StateS Geological Sur vey as a part of Mineral Resources of the United States.

GREAT SALT PRODUCTION.
Record d-Breaking Figures for 1913, According to Statement of United
 States Geological Survey.

The marketed productiezl of salt in the United States. including Hawaii and Porto Rico, in 1918 reached the record breaking total of S4,Se9,29S barrels of 280 pounds each, or 4,815,- 902 short tons. The value of the product was $10,123,139. These fig ures are the greatest yet recorded by the United States Geological Survey for the salt industry in the United States, and they represent an increase of per cent in quantity produced and of nearly per cent. in value com pared with 1912.
 Salt occurs in two distinct ways as rock salt in beds or associated with bedded or sedimentary rocks and in solution, as in sea water or in primes or bitterns. A very large part of the salt production Is derived by con verting the natural rock salt into brine, which is then pumped to the surface and evaporated.
 The two main methods of obtaining salt are the mining of rock salt and the evaporation of sa1t-bearing solu- tons. Rock salt is produced chiefly by deep shaft mining in the eastern central, and southern parts of the United States. Active mines are lo- cated in Livingston County, N. Y.; near Detroit, Mich; in Ellsworth and Rice counties. Kansas: and in Iberia

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

To prevent the unpleasant o6or from. developing in the vases in which cut flowers stand, change the water daily and put a tihy piece of char coal in the bottom of the vase.
 When you set dishes on the ice in the refrigerator, place under them a rubber ring. such as is used on fruit jars. This will prevent their slipping as the ice me1ts.
 When the skin has been subjected to a blow, take a little dry starch, rnoisten it with cold water, and lay it on the injured spot This will prevent the skin from discoloring.
 White enameled furniture may be cleaned with turpentine and the gloss will be uninjured. Wet a soft cloth with turpentine. rub the spots off the wood work and rub dry with another cloth.

HOW SLEEP MAY BE INDUCED
BY BLANCHE BEACON

Every woman searching For health and beauty should take 10 heart the old saying that "one hour of sleep Unfortunately. very few women in these days of hurry and furry, not on- ly do not get thisl so-called beauty sleep but frequently toss restlessly the night long. praying for the sleep that comes not. The inevitable result of this is that the nerves become disor- dered, the digestion impaired, the eyes dull and the complexion cloudy
 Sleep is one of the strongest founda- tion boards of health and a magic aid to beauty, so a little attention to the pros and cons will prove well worth your while
 If you wish sleep to woo your eyelids then never go to bed hungry, as an empty stomach means a. restless night Do not infer from this that you are to feast on heavy meats and sip strong black coffee before drawing on your bewitching bed-cap, as such a meal would keep you open eyed ~un- coffee, take a glass of hot milk and turn out the lights. If you crave something a wee bit more substantial then nibbla a lettuce sandwich or a crisp cracker.
 To get the best results from the above treatment, it would be well to sponge the body off with hot water just before drinking the warm milk :
 This efficient remedy for sleepless- ness is we'll worth the trying, simple thought 1t be- Tn this connection it is worth bearing in mind that costly

IS TT WRONG TO

Dear Miss Libbey:

How can Ismeet and be introduced to a true gentleman? I meet one to and from business, . who smiles interested1y to me. Friends would introduce us, but I do not want to ask this. If I met him, he might like my company more than. a. young lady we both Know. know his mother and sister by sight. Do I need to secure an introduction? A young lady who knows him had no l1troduction, he is d neighbor. Will it be wrong for me to speak? Can I gain his affection :?
 .PERPLExED ALICE
 My advice is that you are on the wrong road to win his affection. No man has true respect for one who forms his acquaintance without an introduction. This he will seek and gam if he is favorably impressed. Be not nasty; let hin be the anxious party.

FROM 1.-THE CHILD
 IN THE STREET,

FROM EoTHE CHILD
 IN THE STREET. Weaving your fancies through your little day, I stand and watch you busy at your play; Such simple things for toys are strewn around. The treasures in your wandering you have found. Each common pebble is for you a The hornely dust that ecornful con- denn, And from my hurrying feet impa- tiently shake, You hand to me to show me my mis- take. You can not see the sunsets crimson glow, Or watch the stream through flowers murmuring flow, Hemmed in by walls far over you that rise, still you can build yourself a para disc.

A CLEVER DESIGN

It is quite worth the effort and time required to make this suit, for 1t is duplicate of one of the expensive models for early fall KIt is made of called disastre and trimmed with striped velvet Three yards of 54-tnch. cloth are required for it's development One-haf yard of velvet 24 inches wide will make the vest.
 The short coat has long one-piece raglan sleeves. with turn-back cuffs, Its construction is not difficult. yet necessitates much care This is true of all tailored effects. because the lines are so easily spoiled. The material is first folded: then the back and collar gre laid. on the Iengthwise fold The sleeve, pocket lap. vest, collar and cuffs are arranged on lengthwise thread of the broadcloth. If the short sleeve is preferred cut off lower part of sleeve pattern on small .'o'' perforations-
 Take up the darts in front of the coat first Perforatio also indicate darts in sleeves and vest. Adjust vest to position underneath front. notches and single large -'O' sperforations even. Sew sleeve to front and back as notch ed Close un6er-arrn and sleeve seams as notched. If long sleeve IS made close cuff seam as notched to small ."o' perforation; sew ro sleeve as notched-a
 Small "oo'' perforat:on in pocket lap indicates upper front edge. Adjust to position on front. upper cage along crossline of small co. perforations.
 Close back seam of large collar in dicated by small 'o'' perforation. Ar range collars together. center backs and uotchfd edges even. Sew to n~cls edge as notched.
 The skirt is a Russian tunic oesign. for there is nothing more fashionable for the early autumn suit.
 Quite as smart and perhaps more serviceable are vests of tucked broad cloth for the fashionable short coats. They also add warmth to the garments when crisp. cold days come. The sin gle-button adjustment is new.

To avoid this trouble. empty them every morning, wash them out ana stand them upside down in the warm ing oven, then, when you are ready to use them, they will be so warm and dry that the salt will shake out cas- iIy.

Roses. have therns and silver foun-

 Men and women are not free from

 If men were honest enough to find fault before they have gone too far in the lovers game, how many. women would deliberately spoil their chances by linking their fates with a male scold? Everything a sweetheart says or does is smiled upon encouragingly by the lover.
 It is quite another matter after they are we'd They settle down to house. keeping ere the temper which he has kept in abeyance so long begins to as- sert itself. If it's hot he wants the windows down; declaring if they were raised, there's just enough wind blow ing on him to give him a stiff neck. If it's storming he finds fault with her because she has the windows closed, declaring he must have a breath of fresh air. though he is told that the wind is blowing that way, and that the rain would be sure to beat in, and destroy everything in the room
 He knows she is right; but he con- tinues to fume, fret and find fault Why did she have the outside blinds taken off the windows and put up window shades instead? Will her shades protect her against the rain ? He, finds fault with the meals she cooks. At last, stung to desperation, she turns like the worm retorting an: grily: .sWhy didn't you marry a first class cook instead of getting girl like me to hash your old potatoes, grind your coffee for you and get nothing for it save falIlt-finding :? Nothing that I do pIeases you. If I wear my last years gown to try to save, you say that I am trump If put on a slit skirt and shadow lace blouse, you say its disgrace to walk on the street with me-
 If a man is dissatisfied in anyway with a. girl. it isn't right to keep it hidden until the knot is tied which binds them firmly, from which she cannot break away. When a young couple enters matrim ony. the first VOW they make to each other should be that neither should find fault It's a habit that grows more quickly than the mushroom. and stronger than the oak. The coming of little ones does not act as a check to the annoying habit of fault finding, which becomes a part of ones nature with the years. Children are quick to notice such dis sention in the household A little boy of tene once remarked to his mother, Why is it. Ma that you never dc anything. right ?''
