TRAVELLED 1900 MILES
Foresters Had Fine Trip to Coast.
Honor for Pennsylvanians

Supreme representatives of Foresters of
America from Pennsylvania arrived home
this week from San Francisco, where
they attended the Supreme Convention.
They report an enjoyable and beneficial
journey, and are going to have much in
formation of interest and value to give
the lodges Of the State.
During their trip they Travelled more
than 1900 miles, spending % days view
ing places of interest along the route
through the United States and Canada.
Six days were spent in San Francisco.
Some important legislation was enacted
at the convention. The proposed funeral
fund, in which Pennsylvania was par
ticularly interested, was defeated. Ma
tional Leader H. w. Mace made a strong
appeal for the passage of a funeral fund
law, but 1t was impossible to obtain a
two-third vote on the measure. New York
State and several other States opposed
the law because they have funeral funds
in their own Grand Courts.
Honor was conferred on three Pennsylvania
boys, John P. Donahue reelected chair
man of the board of supreme trustees, James
Duross was chosen auditor. and Dr. George
aminer. The Pennsylvania delegation carried
away first honors in the parade, which was held
Delegations from Massachusetts,. Connecticut.
Rhode Island and Vermont accompanied the To-
cal representatives to and from the convention
was one round of pleasure. Judge Edward
O'Brten,. of Lynn. Mass. organized a band
from among the delegates and it gave con-
certs IN every town in which the special
stopped John Smith, of Court Haverford s
band, was the leading member. In some Of the
places where the train halted the band caused
much amusement and wonder, the inhab-
ttants had never seen a brass band before.
The next convention will be held in Portland
Me-, In August, 1916, when the delegates will
again consider the funeral fund proposition A
special committee was named to report on the
matter at that time.

PHILADELPHIA MAKES
TERRIBLE FIRE LIQUID
Inventor Will Demonstrate New
War Weapon, for Sale to
Any Nation

A mysterious liquid. made from a Sc
cret formula, has been produced by. a
Philadelphia chemist. who asserts that
1t will prove to be the most formidable
and, incidentally, the most gruesome
weapon in war. The liquid, which resem
bles water in appearance and can b
carried in glass, possesses the astonish-
ing property of causing flames to burst
from any porous substance on which q.
is placed, according to the inventor Jul
chemist with the H. X. Mulford Com
pany of this city.
Dolgos, who is an Hungarian, came to
this country six years ago. Shortly after
his arrival he conceived the idea of in
venting a fluid which would be a terrible
weapon in war. He began a series of ex-
periments. and several weeks ago an
nounced that he had perfected the for
mula which gives to the world its new
est terror.
The liquid. the constituents which he
would not divuige, will burn wood, cloth,
flesh, water and snow merely by coming
in contact with those substances, Dolgos
said. II lis perfectly safe to carry, pro-
vided one is careful not to touch it, and
it can be produced at nominal cost, ac-
cording to the inventor.
DolGos expects to dispose of his secret
at high price to any Government that
cares to invest in 1t. He will demon
strate the liquid at his home Saturday,
and he intimated that representatives of
the countries at war will attend.

One Series Shows Women Doing All

A girl art student, scarcely out OF her
teens, has Joined in the movement TO add
this State to the list of those wherein
women vote. Her efforts to make the APP
peal Of unenfranchised women more pic
turesque and appealing are appreciates
by suffrage leaders.
Miss Katherine Milhous she is-a stu
dent in the School of Industrial Art Miss
Milhous thinks more of her work than
she does of herself. At least, she refused
to be photographed alone and gave her
consent only when he latest poster was
added to the space swept by the camera.
Her part in the sunragist propaganda
has been, conspicuously, the designing of
suffrage postal cards, depicting pictures
OF women doing everything a man can
and should do, except casting a ballot
Her latest contribution to the cause is a
poster setting forth her reasons to the
men OF Pennsylvania why they should
vote for the woman suffrage amendment
in November
Boss Tweed once blamed Cartoonist
Mast for setback he had received in
New York.
They can print anything they want
about me-" he said. MY people can't
understand that. But these blankety-
blang cartoons! Even a person that can't
read can feel the spirit of them
That explains why, suffrage leaders ex-
plain. Miss Milhous is so valuable an adj
Junct to the suffrage cause. Her pictures
attract converts from classes and masses
that would otherwise probably remain in
the anti-suffrage camp
The reasons Miss Milhous sets forth az
TO why the electorate of this State should
vote for the suffrage amendment are:
Women must obey the laws Just as men do
Momen must pay taxes just as men do
