Miss Dora Stevens, College Bud,
 to Work New York for SuffragistS She Says Congressmen Are Fifty Years Behind Times on Sufrage-Doesnt Dare to Think of What They Are Other Questions.

some New York is big and conserva- tive say others. 'It is both,' says Miss Stevens, land that is why there is so much hope for it. Tt is radical ism in the home of conservatism. And 1t has the most intelligent radi- calism in the country. Those who are radical are thinkingly so.
 New York IntelligentIy Radical.
 ''In the west, which everybody al- ways supposes to be wildly and youth fully radical. I found a great deal of real conservatism. They are radi- cal very often, because they want to be active and engage in con- structive legislation. They are rest less and want to do the next thing at their hands. Of course that solves the question, in one way. And a num- Der of psuedo radical measures have been passed. But it is not quite fun damental When New York is radical it is so from intelligent conviction"
 On the table of her office at 3 East Forty-frst street, delightful with new blue blotters, was little figure, Wisdomette, the little god of the suffra gette." Miss Stevens bounced upon it joyfully. Another prize for cur exhibit" she exclaimed, and told of another cause for the establishment of the New York headquarters of the union.
 Suffrage is to have booth at the Panama-P ciic exposition. This has been donated to the cause, and Miss Stevens is to procure numerous and suitably interesting exhibits from all the various suffrage organizations. During an entire year there will be shown everything possible of an edu Cational or propagandist nature. National Convention at Fair. And work is to be carried on for a Fig suffrage convention to be held dur ing the exposition. This will occur as a splendid climax to series of con- ventions, to be held in every state of the Union, going from east to west, until it finally bursts forth in it's full glory in San Francisco. There it will take the nation in it's holiday mood, and those people who have not been converted before will be in ex- treme danger of succumbng then, runs the plan.
 Miss Stevens is enthusiastic over the victory of her party at Washington, where for the first time in the history oc the country, so much time and de l:berate and official recognition were given women.
 Congressman 50 Years Behind Times But I learned a good deae1 through the sessions there," she smiled. "The men were fifty years behind the times in their conception of women and the roles they must play today. What on { earth must they be on other uues- tions?

"Mignon" adapted from Goethes masterpiece "Wilhelm Meister' the famous grand opera dramatized in to five reels of motion pictures with Beatriz Michelena the celebrated pri- madonna, Andrew Robson and House Peters playing the stellar roles Is the big attraction at Fox's today and tomorrow. There are but few scenes in "Mignon" ahat are not pleasing to the eye. The photography is unus- ually clear, the exteriors have been chosen carefully and tastefully, the interiors are lavish, deep solid and artistic and much time and money have been spent on the costuming. Especially beautiful are the scenes showning the burning of the palace, and the lighting effects are truly re- markable. The acting hOnors fall to Beatriz Mich elena and House Peters both being excellent in their respec- tive parts. Will Pike plays as Fred erick, Clara Beyers as F'ilina, and Andrew Robson as Lothario deserve special mention, and "Mignon" as a whole stands forth as a mighty artis- tic production and will no doubt please the legion of Fox patrons.

Here is the latest and surely one of the pretticst developments of the tWo-picce skirt which provides comfortable width and graceful folds. If the seams are stitched from top to bottom, it become. sernl-circular in shape, but there are ex. tensions on the side edges that can be used to form inverted plats. Really, that means two skirts in place of one, and the styles are essentially different. The skirt Is an extremely simple one to make, be- sides being new and smart, and since it can be finished either at the high or the natural waistline it can be ada ptcd to any figure. It is appropriate for ali heavy and medium weight materials. The cot tons and the linens that are being made up at this season are admirable treated in this way, and both silk and wool suitines are handsome so made. There being only the two seams, there Is very little labor required.
 For the 16-year size will be needed , yards of material 27 inches wide, Ii yards 36, or A, or 50. The width of the skirt is F yards before the plaits are laid.
 The May Manton pattern 85o7 is cut Tn sizes for misses I6 and IS years of age. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, on receipt of ten cents.

Crafty and wise must be the Con- gre ssional union, for 1t has sent a very pretty and a very, very charm ing, and a very young girl to capti- vate New York into it's ranks. "Cap- tivate" is the correct word, too Indeed no other applies after a first glimpse at Miss Doris Stevens, who arrived here bright and early last Friday morning.
 Miss Stevens announced that she in- tended immediately opening campaign headquarters for the radical end of the suffrage element. Since Miss Stevens is twenty six years old and looks just out of her teens, we paused to wonder. But Miss Stevens re- assured us with a recital of three years of suffrage work exclusively to her credit a bachelors degree from Oberlin college and some social set tiement work as part of the world s work she has already accomplished. i ''Don't Stand for Suffrage. Work" And no suffragist need shake her head dolefully for Miss Stevens has dCne splendid work for the Congress sional union, and this new appoint
 
 does not intend to fight for or per suade erring ones to her cause; she intends to create an ardent belief in i her cause and a consuming desire to work for it. Last summer she pur- i sued these methods successfully in Newport and between then and now in Colorado.
 1 With only one worker and with ab surdly limited funds, she managed to | do an enormous lot of work, writing, heckling and speaking. Men can no longer tell me that they stand for suf- frage," she said. "Of course they do. That is just what they mustn't do. They must work for it. 1 And now she has come to New , York to get men and women to work , for the Bristow- Mondell resolution. ! She is to convert New York. i We suffragists must concentrate
 on the senate until the close of the session, that through a favorable vote there the bill will be returned to ! congress with greater prestige than ; ever'' she announced. We must have the New York women show their senators just what they want Our
 campaign will act as a medium through which Senators Root and be made to understand and respond to the popular will of the state." Popu-
 lar will means not only the electorate, | but the women as we'll
 The Congressional union is wont to set out on the impossible and try to
 dash trilmphantIy to success. And l Miss Stevens is thoroughly one with
 this spirit. She is alive with hope for
 the New York campaign, and she i'm 1 mediately pOunceS upon the elements 1 offered her and works with them New York is big and radical, say

MOTORCYCLE FALLS

Dan W. Johnson, Seeley rancher,
was painfully injured yesterday when
he fell from a motorcycle which was
Icing towed across the siphon on the
Brawley main ditch. He was removed
to s.. Thomas hospital, where his con-

unable to say whether Johnson had
sustained internal injuries.
Johnson was being towed into Ell
Centre on the motorcycle and had
reached the summit of the siphon and
started down the incline when the
heavy motorcycle was overturned. The
clouds of dust from the auto preced-
ing him are believed to have been the
cause of the accident.

of the machine and appeared to have
been seriously injured when taken
from beneath the motorcycle.
He was rushed to St. Thomas hos
pital and this morning it was report
