SUFFRAGE WORKERS
CALL ON GOVERNOR
At Their Request He Tells Them oil
His Impression OF Suffrage
In Western States.
CONDITIONS LITTLE CHANGED
Stuart Unable 10 See That ANY Mark
ed Improvement Has Been Wrought
BY Giving Women Right to Vote.

Governor Henry c. Stuart yesterday
afternoon at o'clock received a call
from a delegation of the Congressional
Union for Woman Suffrage.
The ladies' especial object was to
secure from the Governor his first
hand impression of the Western wo-
men and whether or not they had been
spoiled for the nome by having the
right of suffrage conferred on them,
in the opinion of the Virginia execu-
tive.
The delegation was ushered into
the Governors Office by Secretary
Forward and received with true Old
Virginia gallantry by the Governor.
Mrs. Percy Reed, the spokesman.
introduced the members of the COM
mittee, and added: I'VE are particu-
larly interested in the Western wo-
men for the 100000 voters In the
territories through which you have
passed are helping to free all the I'M
franchised women of America by the
quickest method. that of a Federal
amendment to the United States con-
stitution. We want your impressions
of these women. OF course. though
we do not expect you to compare
them with the Virginia women as we
know that you are too loyal to the
latter"
Found No Material Change.
IT was primarily interested" said
the Governor, 'in what you would call
material things, business and lands.
but from the few inquiries that l was
able to make I found that there had
been no material change in conditions
though it In true that | was told by
one of the men in Los Angeles that
one unworthy candidate had been de-
feated for the City Council by the
woman's vote. The California people
seem to be not at all dissatisfied with
woman suffrage nor were they elated.
The Governor was then asked II he
had heard any talk of the evils suf-
frage or Of taking away the franchise
from the women. The Governor re-
piled that none OF the evils he had
heard had materialized. He had not
heard any mention of a desire to re-
woke the franchise.
OF Course! OF Coursei!
The Governor said that in his opin-
ion the voters of the West were hand
some, able and very attractive" He
was particularly impressed with the
ability and home-making qualities OF
one of the San Francisco ladies who
was a member of the City Council
The only woman member of 1t.
The Governor seemed to enjoy the
visit of the committee. Those in the
party were: Mrs. Percy Reed. Mrs.
Roy K. Flanagan. Mrs. F. L.
Landrum, Miss Mary Day VIM. and
Miss Edythe Hansche. of Washington.

MUST BE PLEASURE IN WORK
Assuredly 10 Cast In the
Hardest Of Places.

A mans luck is as hard as adamant
II he is not in love with the work he
does as with a maid he woos. II is a
miserable thing to care for ones occu-
patton merely because 1t shuts out
the thoughts that burn like irons IL
you think" Any trade or profession
you could name is a poor affair IL 1t
Is but a time-killer. a stop-gap. an
opiate. the ballast Of the dirigible
life. You hear a man start his work
with a faint tap at clock stroke. and
you hear him drop 1t with loud thud
at another clock stroke, and you know
his soul and his brain are not alive In
the thing that he is doing. Why? A
thousand men are a thousand reasons
why.
Any man who can be accurately stig-
matized as efficient dreadful wordD
brings all OF himself to the task in
hand. lie brings not merely his sixth
sense and his fourth dimension to bear
on his concerning handful. but every
bit of vital electricity in the storage
batteries of his whole being. When
he has done his level best. he is, as
we ironically say. played out" and
he is supposed to take a rest--which
may assume the form of harder labor
than ever in a wholly different field Of
endeavor.
In fact. the man who has formed the
habit nf work is never happy to be
idle II is no use TO extend to him
the prospect Of complete hiatus in the
name of a vacation. The program OF
tho null and void would assure him an
acute unoasiness. There is a saying
that nature ahhors a vacuum-so does
real live man. the son of nature.

Republicans of Genesee county have

the name Of Senator William Alden
Smith, of Grand Rapids, as presiden-

The movement is a splendid one in

the support of the republicans of the
county to a man.
Senator Smith is an eXemplar of the

Girl Driver Wins
Big Economy Run

To the amazement Of the veteran
road drivers who took part in the re-
cent Maxwell efficiency run from
Buffalo to their homes in New Eng
land and the other North Atlantic
states, the first place winner turned
out to be the only woman pilot in the
tour.

eye of several witnesses and the details
are set forth in her own affidavit.
Miss Cunningham's car also went the
route without the addition of drop OF
cylinder oil TO the original supply
This is really the fact which won her
the big slice of the Flanders prize, as
her mileage on fuel was excelled by
two of the other cars in the big tour
those driven by her father and by
George D. Robinson of Springfield
Mass. Mr.. Cunningham IS new Maxwell
touring car averaged 36.S5 miles pei

however, added quart Of oil to the
original supply.
Second prize went TO Verne II. Jack

the former covering 1858 and the latter
474 miles.
Six Of the tourists, virtually all OF
whom were Maxwell dealers driving
new cars to their homes from Buffalo
scored averages Of better than sc
miles per gallon; sixteen scored be
tween 25 and 80 miles. In fact, the
average of the entire tour, including
eighty cars, was very close to 20 miles
TO the gallon--a degree of efficiency

dreadnaughts. They can mount to any
altitude quickly, taking considerable
high explosive in addition to pilot and
observer. There are super-dreadnaughts,
some with three planes and enormous
double engines carrying bombs enough
to blow up small town in addition
to cannon and machine-guns. There
are scouts, "coast-defense planes,
escort cruisers for the slower, bigger,
mightier air navigators.
This is big change from the first
days of the war when an aeroplane per-
formed any service its pilot was ordered
to do. Hall, for example, never car
ries explosives. His duty, with his swift,
short-winged biplane, is either to do
scout service far behind the German
front, or accompany bombarding fleet
and, like q destroyer at sea, ward off
the enemy. When you read of the
French air fleet bombarding some po-
siticn or other in German territory,
you may know that these lightning fast
biplanes accompany it, scouting in ad'
vance and protecting it on flanks, rear
above and below.
Other aeroplaneS Speclailze on pnot0,
graphing; still others cruise behind
their own lines, coast defending, chas-
ing or attacking with machine-guns
any German planes coming over. These
"chasers" are 80 constructed that they
can train their machine-guns on the
enemy from any angle up, down, fore
or aft. All these machines are armored.
The flower of the army is in the av-
iation group. The air service appeals
to all classes, but particularly the
sporting element, and 1t can take its
pick from many candidates. The Of
ficers are exceedingly smart and the
underling very superior type.
A German officer is quoted by neu-
trail observer at the front as saying in
reply to request to get closer to the
lines:
"Dont' think of such thing: To get
inside the range of the French artillery
is certain DEATH" ...'
This wa s compliment to the artil-
lery arm, but it was also loft-handed
one to its winged brother; for if the
French artillery is wonderfully ef-
ficient, the sirmen are its chief aids in
making it so.
