WOMAN SUFFRAGE LOST
IN SENATE BY ONE VOTE

St. Paul, March 6--The main door OF
of the Minneapolis senate chamber was
pushed open shortly before r. M. A
man stepped inside and proceeded un,
eoneernedly down the center aisle.
Some thousand of pairs Of eyeH
were focused on the newscemer. Not
breath was stirring. He seemed nn-
conscious Of ii. The clerk Of the sen.
ate looked up, recognized the new
conner and called:

That absent one was Senator Alex

The missing senator was in tele

The blacksmith shop has fascination for childhood that grows with the child and remains with him when he becomes a man, and many Birmingham citizens can remember when they once sat on a pile of shavings in the village black smith shop and watched the smithy laborously blowing his bellows, malS- ing the sparks fly upward in a stream. They can recall the old days of happi- ness, even to the time when they mad vertently placed a calloused bare foot upon a piece of redhot iron, and how good the soda and liniment felt whe.l applied to the confusion

BELGIAN CONDITIONS
 ARE STILL VERY BAD
President of Dutch Branch of Refugee Committee
 Tells of Situation

Amsterdam, January 17.-(Correspon-
 dence of the Associated Press.)-The pres
 ident of the Dutch branch of the Antwerp 1 Belgian refugee committee. w. A. van der | Veen, in a statement of the conditions of
 the Belgians who have remained in their | country says:
 The fact is, the distress in Belgium is | very great. Much is being done in various directions to afford relief, but there are
 many difficulties which are hard to over come There are still 100000 of people in Belgium, and they all require to be clothed and fed. One can imagine what these difficulties are, if one remembers
 that our own country has a population of about 6,O00,OO0.
 Entire districts, for instance Flanders,
 Luxemburg and Hainault, are completely cut off from the whole world. There are no official reports concerning the distress and it is impossible even to es- timate all that is necessary. All we know about the distress we have learned by personal inquiry in the immediate neigh borhood of the great central places, and
 what we have seen there is quite suffi- cient.
 If a severe spell of cold weather should
 east wind will break the weak bodies and
 children and old people will die in thou sands. To all this must be added typhoid fever and other diseases and then one will understand how helpless we feel con- | fronted with such misery.
 Tt would be unjust not to acknowledge | < | by the Comite Rationale de Secours by the | Rockefeller institute and the British re- | lief fund. But still the difficult problem l exists how to get the necessaries of life | to those places where they are urgently
 wanted The means of transportation are 1 too few and too slow. The roads and l bridges are either in a bad state or com pletely destroyed and the necessary pre-
 cautions of the military authorities against 1 spying do not further the work of relief. l "There is only one way in which ef- l fective assistance can be rendered and | for that we must be enabled to get food | stuffs ito all places where the need is the | greatest Great quantities of provisions | must be stored in central places, doctors with medicine and drugs must be quickly sent to all places affected by disease and such districts must be isolated to pre-
 vent the further spread of epidemics
 Further permission must be given to send and receive letters, so that persons
 in better circumstances may be able to | receive money from the interior or from
 abroad and a better working of the bank. ing system must be instituted so that
 everybody may be enabled to raise loans
 on securities
 MT. Van der Veen concluded:
 Every government, every phianthropie institution in the world ought to senc money and motor cars for the transporta.
 tion of provisions With a few hundred of these cars we could do much"

GRIsSOM'S BLACKSMITH SHOP

smith shop that is just as fascinatine as were the shops of old. The difference in Mir. Grissom's shop is that he has all modern equipment and 1t is not nee essary for a man to stand for hours al a time pumping a bellows until his man. ner of breathing muchly resembles the article upon which he is working.
 MT. Grissom can repair anything made from machinery that is not in such con dition as to require the attention of factory expert. He has the facilities for the work.
 While the shop is right up to the minute, it is as fascinating as of old to watch the sparks fly upward. and many patrons of MT. Grissom find it inter- esting to wait while he repairs small damages.
