Some of Those Made of kashmir W1oi
Strongly Resemble Silk.
Generally speaking. the carpets of
India can never excel those OF Persia,
as the materials used in the former
are not of the same superior quality as
those employed in the latter country.
The wool of which many of the best
carpets are manufactured is obtained
from Kashmir. Sometimes carpets
which are mistaken for silk are really
of an extremely fine quality of wool
known as ''pashm.' This is obtained
from the goats of Kashmir and grows
close TO the skin. being protected by
the long and coarser wool. 1t is as
smooth and lustrous as silk and is used
for the beautiful soft shawls for which
Kashmir Is famous.
Peculiar methods are employed by
the Indian weaver in converting his
original design into textile. Instead
of working from a colored drawing or
diagram, the weaver has the pattern
translated on paper into rows Of SYM
bols, each OF which expresses the num-
Der of stitches and the color. With
this written "key" in his hand the
head weaver sits behind his subordi-
mates and dictates the pattern TO them.

Why Do Women Writers Condemn Marriage?

One reason why marriage is so gen.
erally condemned by women writer's,
and volumes have been written by
them on this subject, is because in It's
origin and final working out it seems
to be primarily a means for enforcing
a mans exclusive property rights In
a woman's body and soul. Where
man looks at it in that light, we can
not blame a woman for experiencing
a sense of resentment and shame, and
no doubt there are millions of such
cases.
Marriage is a protection for the in
diyidual, whether man or woman, Tor
the church, for the state and for the
race. 1t is expedient and necessary
not only to preserve the integrity OF
the home. but all other institutions de-
pending upon it.
More than this, it is the ultimate
end of romance, the fulfillment of love,
and the highest form of sympathetic
cooperation we know of.
Strange enough we do not find men
writer's inveighing against marriage
as an institution, and they are not
clamoring for free love or polygamy
or free divorce. 1t is the women writ
ers who do this.
Nevertheless there is occasion for
some alarm in the fact that men are
avoiding matrimony. The most COM

Fort Smith. Ark, March IA ma
,ionaI chiIdren's day is the dream of
Earl U. Hardin, young attorney OF
Fort Smith, and through Gov. George
W. HAYS of Arkansas he has gone at
least a part of the way toward making
his dream come true.
For several years Hardin has had
a children's day in this city, and upon
his solicitation Governor Hays became
interested in the proposition and on
Nov. 10. 1913. issued a proclamation
setting apart Dec. 10 as children's day
in Arkansas. II was something new,
but people eagerly co-operated and 1t
was observed successfully throughout
the state. even beyond the hopes of
1.-THE promoters. Then Hardin asked
the governor to write to the governors
of all the other states, asking them to
set aside the same day for the same
purpose. HAYS liked the idea. He has
now written to the executive heads
of all the states and thus far has re-
ceived favorable replies from two
Governor Cruce of Oklahoma and Gov
ernor Major of Missouri.
1T has been suggested to me-"
writes Governor Hays TO the various
governors, That / write to the gov
ernor of each state in the union TO de-
termine whether or not IL would be
possible to have set aside uniform
day to be known as Children's Day.
I will appreciate a letter from you eX-
pressing your views on this subject.
and if il meets with your approval
the suggestion of date such as you
feel would be most appropriate"

WOMEN IN HASTE
To PLACE NAMES
ON POLL BOOKS
Noon Finds as Many as One
Hundred Registered in Some
of the Precincts.
INDICATES LARGE TOTAL
Judoes Generally Obey Mandate Of
Town Clerk, Though Some Are
Late In Reporting.

Registration of women today for the
township election April exceeded all
expectations. Up to noon reports from
different precincts indicated that the
number of names entered at each
would range between 25 and lOV.
These figures are especially significant
because in a number of places the
election boards did not show up at
O'Clock as instructed by the town
clerk. Shirley d. Folsom
Estimates made at noon of the num-
Der of women likely 20 register IN 'he
II precincts before night ranged from
/, 500 to 5000.
Evidently the women OF the city IN
tend TO be in position to vote II they
desire and they preferred getting their
names entered at the first opportunity
TO waiting for the second day OF regis
tration.
Most of the ladies appeared in per
son at the polling places. Many, now
ever. authorized their hustoands 10
hand in their names. Election judges
accepted names presented by men
who we're known to be voters In the
precincts.
Some Judges Late.
Member of the election boards as
rule did not relish the new order OF
things. Some of them did not show
nm at 7 o'clock. In a number of cases,
notably IN the Eighth precinct, a num-
Der of ladies appeared to register De-
fore the judges were on the scene ana
we're disappointed. Most or them'
however, came back later in the day
and had their names entered.
IF all day sessions on the first day
of registration are to be the rule
hereafter a lot of us who have been
regularly serving will quit our jobs.
said one election judge today. Being
a Judge of election is hard job at
best and the pay is none too large. For
the first day of registration we draw
only 50, which amount was evidently
fixed with the understanding that we
were not to put in all day at the poll
ing place. Anyhow, there would be
plenty OF time for everybody to regis
ter on the second day as they always
did before"
Not Likely to Recur.
Other present pointed out that 1t
would hardly be likely that there
would again be a heavy registration
or the first day, the present rush be-
ing due to the fact that it is the first
opportunity the women have had in
this line. Once their names are en-
tered the task Will never again be so
difficult.
Asked if the board of which he was
member would remain in session till
5 O'Clock the judge quoted said they
would stay if the stream of those wish
ing to register kept up. otherwise not
