elections have indicated, as nothing

that great leader.
Conditions Are Humiliating.
TT is an unthinkable condition that
women should be denied the right to
use party government to aid their
cause and yet be forced to submit to
the full power of its opposition. 1t is
unthinkable, too. that fair and Justice
loving men should demand of their
women that after such battles as they
have waged for their cause they
should again fight over the whole
weary, expensive and humiliating
ground. only to be again defeated by
the same corrupt and controlled inter-
ests that can always encompass their
defeat"

OLD KID GLOVES USED
FOR SOLDIER GARMENTS
Women Who Sew for Armies Can
Make Use of Any Quantity
offered.

The other day The Star published an
article calling to the attention of
washingtonians the fact that, among
a variety of things needed by and fur-
nished to the warning soldiery of
Europe by charitable people. old kid
gloves have a value that is little sus-
pected by one who is not familiar with
their great warmth as Innings for coats
and other garments.
I'VE are making vests for soldiers
lined with kid portions of old Kid
gloves" wrote Nine. Louis Cons of
Paris, formerly of the faculty of Bryn
Mawr College. to her friend, Mrs. K. T.
Holbrook, 1926 Massachusetts avenue
northwest, and since that time it has
been announced that the war relief
clearing house, $50 Bank street, Lon
don, England. also appreciates the ad-
vantageS of cast-off gloves and Is pre-
pared to receive thankfully any num-
Der of them which Americans may find
it. convenient to send.
Vest Lined With Kid.
A correspondent of this relief or
ganization in Washington has In ner
possession a model of a high-neckeo
cloth vest every inch of which is iineo
with soft kid, impervious to wind, ana
that this lining is made from the PAIN
and wrist portions of gloves Is at once
apparent. Former buttonholes ana
back stitching can plainly be seem ana
the startling thing about it is the way
in which extremely small pieces OF
leather have been cunningly fitted IN
where they will do the most good' as
around armholes, etc. Pieces not more
than an inch long and long strips not
much more than one-third OF an men
in width are worked into place ap-
parently with the greatest ease.
This model vest was used as an ex-
hibit of a garment suitable for poth
soldiers and sailors by the ladies' ter
ritorial committee of London, a new
departure in whose work consists OF
the manufacture of masks made OF
black yelling to contain cotton saru-
rated as a protection against asphyxl-
alton by gases, all inclosed in but
toned pocket of regulation uniform
style.
The war relief clearing house. which
is after the gloves. does not even
specify that they be clean. 1t Will do
the cleaning if friends will only send
along the leather.

FOR WOMEN
AN ISSUE OF POLITICS
Mrs. Helena Hill Weed Points to
Lessons of the Recent
Election.

If there is one lesson that the recent
suffrage campaigns have taught more
sharply than any other it is that the
acknowledgements of women is decidedly
a political issue and that its opponents
treat it as such, using all the party
power that exists to defeat it.
This is the opinion of Mrs Helena
Hill Weed, research chairman of the
Congressional Union for WOMAN Suf-
frage, with headquarters in Washing
ton. and declared in a recent inter
view given by her.
