Has-Had Much Experience.
Miss Rankin has had a great deal Of
experience along this line, having
worked for the passing of a suffrage
amendment through the New York
legislature in 1912.
In that year. for the first time, the
seven woman suffrage organizations n
New York got behind one suffrage bill
and put the lobby in charge of Miss
Ra nkin. The bill passed the legislature
in 1913.
IN 1915 MISS RANKIN was IelQ secretary
of. the national association, and in that
capacity lobbied for a woman suffrage
amendment in four states. In two of
these states, Montana and North Da-
kota, the legislatures passed the bill
submitting the amendment to the people.

iully last November in bringing Montana

frage amendment in Congress.

Sunny Smiles

and has hundred uses; but it
won't help you in your biz, if
coupled with excuses. | ordered
seven bales OF hay from Binx, the
. local dealer; he said he'd send
them right away, with horses and
four-wheeler. A broken promise
makes me sick, and sore and ag-
gravated; and right away" means
pretty quick where | was edu-
Gated. l waited for those seven
bales, and still l was denied them; ;
the horses chewed their manger
rails and ate the ropes that tied
them. | called on Binx, that man
of guile, and turned loose some
orations; and he produced his
sunny smile. and fifty explana-
tions. Your smiles a winning
one, indeed I said, you blamed
old pirate, but that won't give my
horses feed when those poor
beasts desire it. Hereafter | will
buy my hay from Theodore ].
Thomas; he doesn't smile in your
glad way, but he can keep prom

many more, and criticised his
doin's; and then | wrecked his
fodder store, and gloated DER the

NAVY YARD EMPLOYEES
TO GET MONTHS LEAVE
Those Who Have Been Disseminated
Against to Be Taken Care of by
House Committee.

Employees of the Washington navy
yard who have been disseminated
against in the matter of annual leave
will be taken care of in the naval ap-
preparation bill, which is under con-
sideration by the House naval affairs
committe behind closed doors today.
Complaint was recently made to the
committee by employees of the yard that
some of the positions there were filled
by civil service men, but that the posi-
tions themselves were not on the clas-
sitied list. One of the disadvantages
is that the navy yard clerical employees
in some cases get but two weeks leave,
while men doing the same work in the
Navy Department building get
months leave. The naval affairs COM
mittee has included a paragraph In the
bill to correct this discrimination. -
The naval reserve legislation is under
consideration by the committee today,
which will devote the entire day to a
discussion of this proposed feature.
The theory of the reserve is to have in
readiness for war $4,000 men who nave
had naval experience
Bureau of Operations Approved.
The committee yesterday approved of
the legislation establishing a bureau
-
victory by the big navy men," and is
the first step toward the establishment
of a general staff for the navy, similar
to that of the army. The bureau would
be headed by rear admiral, appointed
by the President and confirmed by the
Senate, the tenure of office to run four
years. He would have as aids thirty
navy and Marine Corps officers of ma
ture experience. and the duty of the
bureau would be to keep the fleet in
prenarednss for war.
REPRESENTATIVE Hobson said today
that the new Office of chief of opera
tions probably would be divided into
sections of history, policy, strategy,
tactics, logistics Transportation or
sanization (and co-operation) and
execution.
The English" said Mr.. Hobson.
call it the navy war staff. with thirty
six officers and thirty civilian assist
ants. The Germans make the office a
part of the navy staff, with twenty-five 20
commissioned officers and thirteen re-
tired officers and special experts. The
Japanese put the Office under the grand
general staff. directly under the en-
peror.

Says Autos Are Speedy.

The secretary of the association was
| instructed to communicate with the
proper authorities concerning the
speed of trucks, automobiles and street
cars over the bridge at the 1oop" and
the one over Klingle road as it was
declared that vehicles now pass over
the bridges at rate of speed that
fairly makes the structures tremble
in every joint.
The District Commissioners are to be
requested to order the speed of the
cars to be reduced to eight miles an
hour from Oliver to Morrison streets,
in the interests of school children, who
are declared to be constantly menaced
by fast-running cars. 1t will also be
requested of the police department that
an officer be stationed morning, noon
and late afternoon at the schoolhouse
to act as traffic policeman, and to
watch over the children.
Debate on through, express" cars
was vigorous. some of tn citizens
wanting through cars on one section
of the line and others desiring them on
another section. 1t seemed to be the
sense of the meeting, however, that the
citizens of Chevy Chase would rather
Creek bridge through the city than to
have them run without stops from
Chevy Chase circle to the bridge.
Favor Only Joint Committee.
Concerning proposed amalgamation
| with a neighboring association, it was
| the sense of the meeting that the COM
mittee of three before appointed should
| confer with a similar committee ap-
pointed by the other association. to
bring into existence a joint committee
! of SIX to deal with the broader ques-
| tions of common interest. Beyond this
| the Chevy Chase citizens declared
themselves opposed to fusion.
| Mr.. Colladay, the retiring president,
| who is president of the Federation of
Citizens Associations, extended to the
| citizens an invitation to attend the
meeting of the federation Saturday
night at the Chamber of Commerce.
| The purpose of this meeting, he pointed
out, is to get the citizens of the Dis
trict and members of Congress who
have to do with the government of the
\ District better acquainted. Mr.. Cola
day expressed himself hopeful of
great results from the meeting.
| Frank Phelps was admitted as a
member of the association.

NATIVES ARE
 SHAKING LAND
 ALONG YUKON

FAIRBANKS. Sept 2l. - That che natives along the Yukon river arc inc terosted in agriculture and anxious to iako up land is evident from the fact that many of them, from Eagle to Melozl. and along tbe Tnuana river, from Cinema to Fort Gibbon. have a1k- cd tho government for patent on pieces Of ground. H. J. Atwon special agent of tho general land office. who returned to Fairbanks a few days ago. reports that ho found many natives along tho Yukon river who had taken up 16O acres Of land.
 Tho records of tho land onco show that but few of tho natives have given notice of their locations and asked for patent. but Mir. Atwen says that many of them win come in within the next few months
 According to the opinion of the land office men lhe settling of the natives on these pieces ot land is due to the conference held in Fairbanlss, O fow months ago. between Thomas Riggs, Jr.. the land oflce men and the Dele gate. at which were present Q number of Indian chiefs.
 Archdeacon Stuck has been active among the Indians along the river. os- sisting them to stake their property. and lay it out SO that they can set patent to it The few applications which have been received at the land office show that they were sworn to before Archdeacon Stuck, as Q notary public (Fairhanks Times)
