AS far as it has been possible to
ascertain, there are no women act

But in England there are many,
owing to the fact that the men
have enlisted and gone to the war.
The Postmaster General in Eng
land has stated that there is no OBJ
lection to the employment of wo-
men to carry the mail, provided
the load to be carried is not too
heavy and the women are safe

Motion Pictures In
COLLEGE E Extension

The use of motion pictures in the
work of College Extension, is the
latest achievement of the Agricuit-
ural College at Pullman, Washing
ton. Professor James A. Tormey,
director of the Extension depart
ment, has declared his opinion that
this method of bringing the college
to the people will revolutionize col
lleoe extension work in that state.
ut is the purpose of the state col
lege to carry the benefits OF sys-
tematic study of agriculture to the
farmers in all parts of the state.
Tho motion picture is proving q
wonderful means of assisting the
active farmers in benefting from
the research carried on in the ag-
ricultural college"
Newark post., 1915-08-18

For its first experiment in the
use of motion pictures the college
has been exhibiting something over
1000 feet of film taken by experts
at the college. All lines of college
activity are covered, but especial
illustration is made Of live stock
industry, fruit growing, veterinary
science, poultry raising and the
work of the laboratory dealings
with such subjects as soil analysis.
It is the plan of the college to
make additional prints of the film
and furnish them to schools,
oranges and local organizations.
The film employed by the college is
non-inflammable and because of
this may be used freely any place
and may also be shipped by parcel
post. The subjects chosen for this
work will deal largely with the
Babcock testing of milk, proper
housing and care of poultry, use of
cement on the farm, canning Of
fruit and other household occupa-
tions.
Because of the non-inflammable
quality of the film the machine be-
ing used in the college demonstra-
tions may be stopped at any point
50 that the picture becomes a still
one. Thus the machine combines
the advantages of motion picture
and stel eoptican view. The ma
chine can be operated from an Or
dinary electric socket or, as in one
case where electricity was lacking,
the machine was run with perfect
success by the use of seven dry
cells.

to the County Superintendent and
read, certificates will be sent to
the pupils averaging 80 or more
for the entire examination. If the
number of certificates thus issued
does not fill the quota (250 for the
county, certificates will be issued
to pupils having general averages
less than 80, in order from 80
downward. Similarly during the
year if vacancies in the quota
arise. The certificate that the en-
trance examination has been pass

Women's Suffrage Notes

Woman Suffrage Notes, edited by
Mary R. de You, Cor. Sec. Della
ware Equal Suffrage Assn,
Martha S. Cranston, prest.)
Equal suffrage may be said to
prevail in Mexico to large extent.
The women are not permitted to
vote and the men are afraid to.
A group of suffragists who were
in charge of a church meeting at
which DR.. Anna Howard Shaw,
president of the National Ameri-
can Woman Suffrage Association
was to speak, recently wrote hur-
ried not to the headquarters in
New York to ask for list of the
churches in America in which DR..
Shaw had preached. THE dea-
cons insist upon it," they wrote.
When DR.. Shaw, who was one of
the first women in America to be
ordained by the Methodist Episco-
pal Church, read the letter she
smiled broadly.
Il haven't time to make a list,
she said. 'It would be too long
but it makes me think of some of
my early experiences as minis

'ond and last section OF a great island
|of timber which has been building at
saltwater, Minn.. for three years.
The first section passed La Crosse
three weeks ago.
The Ottumwa Belle, famous old
Trafter, showed the last raft through
the drawbridge. It was more than a
block long, so long that two towboats
were needed. and 1t filed the draw OF
the La Crosse bridge from side to side.
There was scarcely six feet of water
between the edge of the raft and the
stone piers on either side of the span,
and it was a nice feat of rivercraft
which took the crealsfng, unwie1dy
wooden island through without mis-
hap.
Just above the bridge Capt. John G.
Moore of La Crosse. product of the
early days, was rowed out from the
Ilevee to the big raft. He was invited
