Suffrage and the Telephone.

The plan OF. the suffragists 20
choose day for telcpEonins male
voters in Greater New York, and
on that day 10 send at least half
a million telephone messages, Is
delis shtfully feminine. Incident-
ally. it is cruelty to the thousand
Of girls in the telephone central
offices. If mans inhumanity to
man makes countless millions
mourn. what shall be said Of
woman's inhumanity to " oman?
We suppose some of the giri Op-
orators are themselves Surfrq-
gists. Whether they VIII remain
such after that horrid day is over
is a matter Of doubt. If they do
they have the stuff of which mar
tyrs are made. That is clear
enough.
AS to the business man called
up by woman h" never heard
OF and asked to pledge his vote
for a suffrage constitutional
amendment. We may imagine that,
whatever his words may he over
the wire. his comments in his own
office Will he sulrhurous If not
incOherent. We shall hc surprised
il the phone notion doesn't make
more enemies than friends for the
cause"
Many men can be coaxed into
most anything. A fair proportion
of men are capable of being
argued into things even by wOm-
en-. But stampeding by telephone
Is different matter. Resent

Plate Glass, Labor SaUer
In the Home, Soon Pays
Cost; It's More Sanitary
Saves Furniture and Laundry Charges-Is Easily Cleaned
and OutwearS Fabric CoverngS-Is Not
Beyond the Modest Purse.
By MRS. CHRISTINE FREDERICK


<~ ATE glass for table tops"
- brings to mind to many of
a vision of model apartments
immaculately-and expensive
equipped. And we admire and envy In
the dclusion that plate glass Is beyond
our modest purses. But II we let plate
glass have its due. and give 1t fair
hearing We may find that in the long
run it isn't the costly luxury We think.
There is no doubt that plate glass is
the most sanitary kind of covering. 1t
is splendid for table tops anywhere, as
it is easy to Clcan-and to clean thor
oughlY. No wooden table top, no matter
how smoothly polished, is as mperious
to dust as plate glass. Dust cannot
creep in nor grease or liquids stain the
shining surface of the plate glass top as
it does wood. and there is very little If
any "elbow grease" needed to restore
it to its original newnesS.
Pays for Itself.
From the standpoint of expense. plate
glass really pays for itself in the long
run. In the first place. it protects the
wood surface it covers. Thus, when used
on bureaus. chiffonlcrs. desks, and fine
trays, it greatly pr0longs the life of
such expensive equipment. 1t protects
them from possible stains OF ink or
medicines, or the other liquid casualties
that are likely to bcfall even in the
best regulated families. And even the
first cost of plate glass cover, though
it be fairly large, may not reach the
sum required to repair the edge of a
cherished bit of furniture Clipped OF

Moreover, plate glass on tray or hu-

which they viii present to the legislature
tomorrow. asking that they be submitted

next year as amendments 20 that docu-
ment. One of these provided for complete
suffrage by striking the word male
from section one. article seven of the
state constitution. the other "a to amend
section nine, article seven. which gives
women the right OF suffrage on educa-
tional questions. and TO add 10 that sec
