VERA CRUZ MEX0S FIRST P0RT AN OLD AND VERY INTERESTING CITY

VI VERA CRUZ, the first port of
 VA the Mexican republic, holds
 w many picturesque sights and
 " experiences for the American sailors now aboard the battleships out side that port during the crisis in the affairs of the country.
 The city, which is one of the oldest. quaintest and most cosmospolitan of the Mexican coast towns, with popu- lation of 25,000, was one of the first places to be settled by the Spanish in vaders and the scene of battles ancient and modern. Today it presents curi- ous blend of both periods-f1ne new buildings standing side by side with diminutive negro cabins and certain parts of the city resembling Valencia and Bilbao transplanted to the new world.
 The city epitomizes the whole of Mexican history. Here the Spaniards planted their first stockade fought their first battle with the natives and established their, base of supplies while they attacked the great stronghold of the Aztecs. And from it they sent back their fleet laden with gold, wrested from the dying Indians. For three cen- turies it was the main port of New Spain, and when the Mexicans threw off the Spanish yoke the last flag of Spain was hauled down from the for tress of San Juan de Ulua, in the bay of Vera Cruz, one mile from the main land
 The Castillo de San Juan de Ulua, on La Gallega island, formerly penal settlement, consists of a fort, a dry- dock shipyard, lighthouse and a mili- tary prison and marine signal station. The cornerstone was laid in 152S, and the massive foundations of the fort be- low the water line are said to have cost upward of 100000 pesos ($2,OOO,- 000). They have withstood the inces- sant pounding of tremendous seas for four centuries. More than 4O,000.0 .000 pesos have been spent on Ulua.
 The bay and harbor, formed by the coast and the Gallega reef, are difficult of entrance to ships because of the many close small reefs. The harbor has an area of $50 acres and an aver age depth of only thirty feet. The mouth, eighty-six feet wide, Is pro- tected by a lighthouse. Formerly ships were obliged to put to sea for safety in a blow. Recently more than ESQ., 100000 has been spent to make the harbor safe with breakwaters and sea wall. with artificial blocks weighing more than thirty tons each. The har- bor is full of man eating sharks.

cause and keep 1t before the public eye.
 The New York suffragists have taken every opportunity to point out the growth and development of the funda- mental ideas which are embodied in woman's suffrage and have quoted the following dates from history:
 Tn 1900 no married woman in the state could hold any property or make a will. No woman could go to college. No woman could enter any trade, in dustry or profession outside the home.
 1821-The first female seminary was opened at Troy by Emma Willard. That a girl should study Latin or geometry was considered ridiculous.
 1S48-New York first gave married women the right to hold and control their own property.
 1S49-The first woman to graduate in medicine took a degree from the medical college in Geneva, N. Y. Her name was Elizabeth Blackwell. She

, amount of what suffragists call educa- tional work has been done for several years past. The suffragists and the | "antis" brought into the state all their most prominent national leaders, and from now until the first ironing day after the first washday in November the oratory of the feminine stump speaker will roll in a wave of argu- ment from Cape Cod to the Berk- shires. Both sides are eager for the fray and each is claiming a prospec- tive victory.
 The campaign of the suffragists in- cludes a state wide canvass under the direction of Mrs. Teresa A. Crowley, chairman of the legislative committee, who is directing the work of POT or ganized leagues affiliated with the headquarters in Boston. It is claimed that 100000 voters have been pledged to vote for the suffrage amendment. 1t is the intention of the army of can- vassers who have been enrolled and

NE YEAR OF OPERATION OF PANAMA
 CANAL HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL ONE

Meyer of San Francisco passed through the canal with a cargo of lumber from Oregon for Quebec. She lost time in the area of doldrums, west of central America, but she saved fifty days In the voyage to Quebec as compared with the long voyage around tempestu- ous Cape Horn.
 During the same month the Tour masted steel bark Bell was dispatched from Balboa for Japan with a cargo or oil from Philadelphia. Later Tn the month her sister ship, the Dayhgnt, passed through the canal with a cargo of petroleum from New York Tor Shanghai.
 The canal commission has been so impressed with the prospect that It mas sought the cooperation of the united States Photographic office to give 1ull knowledge regarding seasonal winds and other information regarding d1rec- tions for sailing vessels. It has also formulated suggestions that the sailing vessels make arrangements with regu- lar steamship lines to pick them up in the area of doldrums and tow them into Balboa
 l The commission gives some sugges- tive figures regarding the cost of ham, | ullllS I1le SetllluS VoSSelS SOlIlS IAii OoSh the canal and the saving in net ex- pense from port to port. It estimates that on the voyage from New York to San Francisco a vessel might be ex- pected to save eighty days at sea. It is stated that a ship of 2,000 tons and up may be operated at sea at a cost of $75 day. The charges for passing such a vessel through the canal would approximate $2,7O0. Subtracting these charges from the saving of eighty days at sea at $75 per day, or a total of $6,- 900, the net saving to the operator would be $3,300.
 This mathematical demonstration of the money value of the canal to sail- i ing ships may be subject to some va riation, but the outstanding fact is the passage both of big and little sailing vessels through the canal and the con- clusion of so conservative an official as Governor Goethals and his associates that the canal route is favorable to | them.
 The experience in regard to traffic routes, making allowance for the up- set caused by the world war, in the main Justifies anticipations. Thus far the chief volume of traffic is the coast wise trade-that is, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and vice versa This runs above 40 per cent of the total volume

The value of the British fleet to the British merchant marine by driving the Germans off the sea and absorbing their trade has been manifest, but there has been an actual loss of traffic due to the complete paralyzing of German overseas commerce.. Allowance must be made for this in any guesses as to the future volume of traffic through the canal. During the first year it has meant a subtraction of revenge tolls and from present indications this minus quantity must be allowed for during another year at least.
 The first year of operation has brought some surprises and has con- founded some prophecies. It was quite generally assumed that the canal sounded the doom of the sailing ships. Just the opposite has happened. They have been given a new lease on life. It has been demonstrated that they can use the canal to advantage.

 New Jersey Active.
 New Jersey women have not been be- hind in their fight for the ballot, nor have the anti-shffragists of that state been sitting idly by while their sisters who want to vote are working for their cause. Jersey suffragists point to the fact that the very first suffragist in America was a native of that state. Lucy Stone, the pioneer was a resi- dent of that state, and the suffragists recently unveiled, g. tablet in honor of her memory at her birthplace. This was the occasion for a great suffrage rally. .s ., . -
 Pennsylvania likewise is overfiowing with interest and excitement. There are suffrage organizations in nearly all cities of the state and the women are working hard for the ballot.
 On the November elections much de- pends. If single eastern state grants women the right to vote the suffragists hold that the movement will rapidly, spread to other sections and also see chances of invading the south before many years have passed. On the oth- CT hand, if the suffragists are defeated it is pointed out that they will have to wait good. many years before they can get their cause before the voters again. .-

Clay Henninger, Jr., Hangs
Himself at Chambersburg
Special to The Telegraph

Chambersburg, Pa, March 10. -
Clay Hennineer, Jr.. popular anG
well-known young man, committed
suicide at his home here yesterday by
hanging himself. For several weeks
young Henninger had been in bad
health, on account of which he found
it necessary to give up his position
at the shops of the I. B. Woods Com
pany. Shortly after he had eaten his
dinner yesterday he informed his wife
that his hair needed cleaning and he
was going upstairs to wash it. After
an elapse of only a few minutes Mrs.
Henninger. worried over the mclan-
choly condition of her husband, went
upstairs to investigate. Going into
their bedroom and not being able to
find him, she went to the attic and
found his body dangling from a rafter.
Henninger had procured a piece of
clothesline, and fastening one end
around the rafter and the other about
his neck, he lowered himself down
toward the floor. Life was extinct.
but his body was yet warm.
Henninger was so years of age and
was a good baseball player, being a
member of the Chambersburg club,
of which his father, prominent mer-
chant was the manager for many
years, and who at one time was a
well-known player himself.

QUIT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take Glass of Salts if your Back
hurts or Bladder trou-
bles you

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally. says a
well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid, which excites the kidneys.
they become overworked from the
strain, get sluggish and fall to filter
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then we get sick. Nearly all rheuma-
tism, headaches, liver trouble, nerv-
business, dizziness, sleepleSsness and uri-
nary disorders come from sluggish kid
neys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or IL
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by sensation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take
tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast and in a few days your
kidneys will act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
flush and stimulate the kidneys. also
to neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder weakness.
lad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
iniure: makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
eompltcations.-Adv

wO important developments in
the temperance cause have APP
peared within the past few days,
both giving promise of long continued
and nationwide influence. one was
the formal inauguration of the Ma
tional Abstainers' Union at meet
ing held in the Billy Sunday taber-
nacle in Philadelphia, with Secretary
of State, William Jennings Bryan as
orator in chief. The other was the IN
auguration of the movement TO care
for all the workingmen who lose their
jobs through temperance legislation'
and. incidentally. TO line up the work
ingmen in general for temperance
laws.
The project which the Secretary OF
State publicly christened is really MS
own idea. He is a member OF the
Commission on Temperance OF the
Federal Council of Churches of Christ
in America, and at the recent meet
ing he suggested national campaign
for the signing of total abstinence
pledges by individuals.
Billy Sundays booze" sermon had
made the Philadelphia tabernacle a
potent spring of cold-water sentiment,
and it was a logical development that
the orator of grape juice" statesman
ship should there follow in his train
with practical proposals for promot-
up.
The new National Abstainers' Union
has for it's slogan, For Health, Home
and Humanity"
Putting the Churches Behind Tenn
perancc
The chairman of the federal coun-
ellis commission on temperance, who
conducted the Philadelphia meeting,
and is propaGating the Philadelphia
campaign, is the Rev. Rufus w. Mil
Ter, ID. D., the secretary of the Sunday
school board of the Reformed church
in the United States. He says that the
present popular Legislative program
for temperance needs to be buttressed
by the irresistible forces of a nation
wide body of pledged total abstainers.
This is an interesting reversion to the
earlier methods of temperance cam
paigning.
While the commission puts it's real
seal on the proposed national prohihi-
ton laws. and is working for the iyra-
dication of liquor advertisements from
the newspapers. yet it seeks to build
temperance sentiment from the ground
up, beginning with the children of the
Sunday school
