American Ammunition Best

From the Indianapolis Star
 Made in America" means something in the trenches of Europe. according to William R. Haynes of Philadelphia. He is the representative of a munition turned from the front, where he made a study of the various types of shells and guns that are being used by the allies. British artillery officers swear by shells made in America and the French arebeginning to do so," he says. They find our ammunition the best of all.
 With American made shells there the no unaccountables and misfres This according to artillery officers, is particularly true of shrapnel. A British officer told me that whenever a diffi- cult position is to be held American made shells always are isued It Is a known fact that in making trial shots shells of European manufacture are used, but as soon as the range Is dis covered the guns are loaded with American ammunition" MT. Haynes says.
 Similar compliments have been paid to our ammunition before in this war and it is gratifying to have them con firmed by one go competent to report as is MT. Haynes. So long as we are sending supplies to the war. it is to our credit that we are sending those of the highest quality. The reputation of our shrapnel will last long after peace has been declared and will serve as an in dorsement of other products we may have to offer in years that are to fol- low the war.

CT who demands that a child value things beyond his understanding is only equalled by the blird ignorance of the child itself and its unreasonable atti- tude toward life.s
 Parents like that are always harp ing" on what they owe their children.
 Fact is, the main things that parents owe their children is the heritage of good health. a happy mind. and con tented body
 Some will even go so far as to say that parents don't even owe their chill dren an education, further than the parliamentary stages.
 If the child wants an education, you couldn't help him getting 1t to save your life, and if he doesn't, all the good clothes and comforts of life that you are denying yourself for his sake, are being thrown into the fire.
 Do you recall one single instance where the child of over-indulgent parents ever amounted to hill of beans?
 Did you ever hear of boy whose father starved to accumulate, a start for his son--adding to the fortune left to him?
 A parent who makes such a sacrifice is not only selfish, but wicked
 No child old enough to appreciate the enormity of the offense, would accept anything from parent bought by that one with his youth and lifes blood.
 Don't get 1t into your head that Mary Sue would be a great musician if you could only afford a piano for her to practice on-and deny yourself accord ingly.

 The Waterspout at sea and the tornado on land are manifestations of great insta- bIlity Of the atmosphere in vertical di- rection, caused either by an abnormally warm surface layer of air or an abnor- mally cold layer at the cloud level. says Nature. The former cause is common in summer; the latter occurs both in sum- mer and winter, and is usually associated with Tine squall" or V-shaped baro- metric depression. The waterspout shows the track along which surface air passes spirally upward to insure equilibrium The commotion of the sea is due to the exceedingly violent character of the phe- nomenon. The funnel itself is probably composed partly of moisture condensed out of air by the sudden diminuition of pressure which occurs and partly of sea water in the form of spray. Sometimes the middle portion of the visible funne. is absent. but there must be in that case a corresponding complete funnel of rotat- ing air from the surface of the cloud.

rights of the states as the other, and the truth is neither is any violation.
 It will be remembered that the di- rect election of senators, which is cer- tainly a question of suffrage, also the income tax, are recently adopted amendments, which the sovereign states have added to the United States constitution
 The advantage of the federal amend ment is that in the final analysis, it is the legislators who are supposed 10 be the picked men of their communf- ties, who decide the question, and not the individual voter at the polls. In other words, the enfranchisement of the intelligent, educated, patriotic womanhood of America is not deter mined by the newly landed Greek, Rus sian, Italian or Armenian, nor by the vice ridden gangster of native birth, but by a group of citizens chosen by the people to represent them in the leg islative halls.
 Apropos of the federal amendment, the plan of Mrs. Medill Mccormick for a "big drive before the congressman leave for Washington, is meeting with enthusiastic response in almost every state.
 Alabama is doing her share in pass Ing the resolutions. which will be acted upon simultaneously in all the congress sional districts of all the states. Thus few. if any members will be able to say on the floor of the House. none of my constituents desire the passage o1 this measure" Tuscaloosa is busy making final arrangements for a luncheon at the McLester hotel Mon day. November 15. Both MT. Oliver and MT. Abercrombie have promised to be present as guests of honor Birmingham's going away party for Mr Underwood and Mr. Huddleston will occur next Saturday at 12:30.

 At the conclusion of the programme, Mrs. Richard Johnston will read the resolutions, which. when adopted, will be sent to Washington to form part of the demand upon Congress for the passage of the Susan B. Anthony amendment, as it Is familiarly called.

This department has been made happy by the receipt of it's first let ter of inquiry, and it is from a mere man.
 The gist of it is: "Why Did the Ala bama Equal Suffrage Association Re- gently Indorse the Federal Amend ment?"
 The answer is this.
 The suffragists of this state re- trained from taking any active part in bringing pressure to bear upon Con gress untiH our own men in the legis- lature had first had their chance to submit the question:.
 Since they did not take advantage of the opportunity, and because we shall have to wait four years before simi- lar chance presents itself, we have de- cided to let our congressman know that the women are urging action on their part.
 But this is not the only reason, nor perhaps the fundamental one.
 We believe the federal amendment t to be right as well as expedient
 The amendment itself is quite sim
 
 the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex"
 It does not say all women shall vote, but that sex shall not debar women who can meet the other qualifications Imposed by the various state consti- tutions.
 In Alabama only certain men, those who can read and write or who pay taxes, who have resided In the com monwealth a specified time, who are 21 years of age, etc, may cast their bal lots. The desire of the framers of the constitution was to disfranchise the ne- gro men; the effect has been to dis franchise some white men, and to ad init to citizenship some negroes. It is said that not. less than 25O0 negroes vote in Alabama. ~
 These figures may not be exact, but 1t is conceded that there are some ne- gro men who vote, but there is not one white woman who may. Now wher Congress, by a two-thirds yote passes the above amendment, it is submitted to the legislatures of the various states for ratification. When three -fourths of the states act favorably it becomes law.
 No other qualification is changed but the one regarding sex; the state con- etitution remains in every respect eX actly the same. The effect would be that the illiterate, the shiftless the criminal woman should be prevented from voting. to the same extent thai that class of men Is now prevented
 The shibboleth of states rights" is the excuse most often urged against the federal measure; but the very states raising the most objection along that line are the ones demanding the passage of the national prohibition amendment They are also the ones most eager to spend other states taxes upon river and harbor projects, drain ing swamps etc.
 There were 72 congressman who voted for national prohibition, who three weeks later voted against the suffrage amendment, and yet one Is as much an infringement of the sacred
