Discusses Suffrage Campaign

An interesting interview with Mrs.
Mabel Cronise Jones, of this city, by
New York "Tribune' writer, on the
suffrage situation in this State, ap-
peared in that newspaper yesterday.
The "Tribune' story follows:
"No votes for women wells, no hikes,
no circus stunts for the Pennsylvania
suffragists. Their summer campaign
will be conducted along purely educa,
tional lines, in contrast to the spectae-
ular methods of New York s battle for
the vote. Suffrage leaders all over the
country are watching the race between
ttese two States with particular inter
est because of this contrast in method.
Mrs. Mabel C. Jones, of Harrisburg,
one of the leaders of the Pennsylvania
campaign, came to New York yesterday
to attend the annual convention of the
National Society of the Daughters of
1912, but she found time between COM
mittee meetings to talk of the suffrage
campaign.

communication might have made very interesting
reading matter. He might have said, for instance
that the Department believes that the presence of
American gadders in and about places where mill
tary operations are being carried would be de-
srable only in the event that the gadders received
suitable injuries to compensate them for their reck
lessness, and that although the department can
give such persons no assurance that they will be
immune from harm, yet it sincerely hopes that if
they persist in attempting to visit such places
they will be put to all the Inconvenience that their
rashness so richly deserves.
Tourists have as much right to seek pleasure in
the belligerent countries during this great strug-
gle to have curious outsiders to look for diver
sion in the operating rooms of surgeons during
serious operations or at the bedsides of dying
strangers for whom they have no concern.
This war is not being conducted for spectacle.
Blood is being shed in bitter earnest The scenes
of conflict are not places of entertainment where
any persons who have the price of admittanee can
see thrilling sights and experience unusual SEN
sations. The tragedies which are being enacted on
those scenes terrible ones and persons who
would see them enacted as they would play
on the stage are worthy only of contempt.
Europe is in great need of volunteer surgeons
and nurses. These America is supplying in gener-
numbers. The afflicted nations are not in need
however, of idle tourists Americans who will help
are wanted,-not Americans who will hinder.

THE LACE OF VENICE
An Ancient Industry That Was Reviv,
ed by Queen Marpherita

The lace of Venice has been celebrat-
ed for many centuries. 1t was made
originally by nuns within the walls of
converts for ecclesiastical garments.
Then, with the fall of the Venetian re-
public, the converts were closed and the
lace industry ceased to exist for an
entire century,
In 1870 the Princess Margherita, aft
-erward Queen of Italy, took measures
to revive it, especially as a means of
providing employment for Venetian
women. At present there are several
schools, subsidized by the government,
in which the art is taught.
The pupils are women of all ages,
Each sits on a low stool and holds a
plump, square cushion in her lap. un

Against Freak Advertising

90 The Pennsylvania Dutch are very
conservative. you know. We wouldn t
dare try any spectacular stunts with
them,' she said. Even the little
votes for women veil, which is really
very pretty, was turned down by our
convention, and as for the hike, it
would be out of the question. 1t is the
policy of the Pennsylvania women that
freak advertising antagonizes more vot-
ers than it converts. We are going to
have a big parade in Philadelphia Sat
urday just to give the campaign a good
start. Then there will be no more
demonstrations until few weeks be-
fore election. We shall have booths
at the county fairs, speakers at the
Chautauqua assemblies and field work
ers all over the State TO address pub
lie meetings. Often these workers go
into mountain hamlets of the Pennsyl.
vania Dutch, where the children of the
first settlers do not yet speak English.

Daughters of 1912 Election

"Mrs. Jones said suffrage would not
be an issue in the election of the
Daughters of 1912, although the most
prominent candidate for president is
Mrs. Alice Bradford Wiles, Chicago
suffragist. One of the planks in Mrs.
wiles' platform provides for annual
meetings in Washington Immediately
after the convention of the Daughters
of the American Revolution. Under
the present system the meetings is not
held until a week afterward in New
York. The delay entails expense and
waste of time for persons like Mrs.
Jones, who have political affairs calling
them home. The election will be held
at the Waldorf Astoria. !"

MAKING OUR BEAUT1Es" AT HOME

just as the necessities of war are said to have
mothered inventions in Europe of new and more
powerful explosives, bread made out of straw and
guns capable of hurting missiles further and fur
ther than under the old standards, so also as the
result of the war, inventive genius has been devel.
oping in America, although, perhaps, along slightly
different lines. While we in United States are not
so much concerned about the development of things
useful on battlehelds are our brethren who are
beligerents, we must nevertheless find ways of pro-
viding ourselves with many things useful in peace
for which, before the war, we depended on Euro
pean sources of supply. Fortunately Americans are
proving themselves well equipped to meet the emer-
gency and are turning out products lust as good
as and in many instances better than similar
products that we used to get almost exclusively
from abroad
For instance we are told that the Manufacturing
Perfumers Association of the United States, which
is holding convention in New York City, has let
it be known through delegates that the war will
not cause a scarcity of rouge, perfumes soaps
and other aids to beauty for the simple reason
that the American manufacturers of these things
not only have lately invented articles of this descrp
tion which are just good as the European
brands but also have put on more steam'' so as
to be able to turn out large enough quantities of
them to offset the shortage of importations attrbu-
table to the European conflict
These assurances from the American manufacture
ers that they are now thoroughly equipped to make
beauties right at home doubtless will be very
comforting to those of our American ladies past
fifty who may inwardy harbor the desire to pre-.
serve the bloom of youth which they, perhaps had
at sixteen.

INTERESTING METHOD
Of DYNAnTINC
Being PROSECUTED
NEAR KATHLEEN

A very interesting method of
clearing land was witnessed yester-
day by the writer and Mr.. Hol-
worthy. secretary Of Lakeland Board
of Trade, on the tract OF land own
ed by Mr.. G. F. Blue, north Of Kath-
leen. Mr.. Blue is having his land
cleared by the use of Atlis Dyna-
mite, under the supervision of Mr.
H. A. Kendall, representative of the
Tampa Agricultural Dynamite Co.,
Of Tampa, the work being directly
in charge Of Mr.. w. B. Self, an ex-
pert blaster from Pennsylvania.
Thismethod of clearing land is not
as well-known in Florida as in some
other sections of the country, where
it is recognized as being the most
economical and efficient method Of
clearing land, as we'll as sub-soiling,
ditching and draining land.
In clearing land with Atlas Dyna-
mite it is immaterial whether it is
stumps or standing trees.
The Atlas Dynamite used on this
work removes standing tree as
easily and quickly as it does
stump and leaves only a small hole
easily filed, and takes the stump
out so completely that land cleared
in this way is ready for the pillow as
soon as the pieces are removed.
which can easily be done as the
stump is so broken as not to require
any special effort to dispose of them.
Stumps removed with Atlas Dyna-
mite leaves the ground thoroughly
shattered and aeriated for many
feet around the stump thus giving
the land the added benefit of sub
soiling which is lately recognized as
of great benefit, especially to land
underlaid with hard pan or water
table.
Atlas Dynamite is also used for
sub-soiling lands already in culti-
walton whether orange or grape
fruit groves, or farm or truck land
and is found to be the only method
which will give the desired result;
The benefits of sub-soiling with Az
las Dynamite is shown in the in-
creased crop capacity of the land, a
saving in fertilizer and freedom
from the effects of drowth and wet
seasons. 1t makes all the soil top
soil and available for plant use. loos-
ening and aeriating the hardest
ground and giving tree and plant
roots chance to grow, thus assrr-
ing full crop.
! Mr.. Kendall explained to the
writer that the most economical
method of ditching and draining
land was attained by the use of At
las Dynamite and also stated that
he would be glad to demonstrate to
anyone interested.
