Be sure that your person is always
neat. Find out the hobbies of individ-
uals whom you like and start them
talking about them. If you fail as a
conversationalist, try being an atten-
tive listener. Listeners are usually as
we'll liked as good takers.

MARCH FOR VOTES
Greatest Demonstration Ever
Made for Equal Rights.
TWENTY-FIVE Thousand Women
in New York Parade.

New York, Oct. 2S.-Suffrage .ead-
ers were busy today mobilizing thou
sands of women and men for the
march up Fifth avenue in what the
leaders say will be the greatest dem
onStration ever made in favor of WonI-
an suffrage.
The leaders predicted that fully 25,--
900 women would. be in line at B
o'clock, the hour acheduled for the
start from Washington square.
In addition to the women, more than
10, 900 men have registered for the pa
rade.
The chief feature of this years
march, aside from the numerical
strength, is the mother and child di-
vision. Scores of children in baby
carriages, decorated with yellow AMI
white, or purple, white and green rib
bons, are included in this division, as
OF eight and sixteen years. The moth
ers believed that the large representa-
ton of children would be formidable
answer to the antis, who charged that
suffrage workers had neglected their
children to march. The children wore
small white felt hats identical with
those worn by the women marchers.
Before starting in the main march
a delegation from the Women's Po-
litical union paraded along the East
side. A majority of the marchers
were provided with torches as it was
thought the parade would not he COM
pleted until after dark.
Miss Albert A. Hill, as grand mar
shall, is to lead the parade. Miss Hill
and her staff will be on horseback and
will wear the conventional black rid
ing habits, black derbies and broad
sashes of purple, white and green.
Ten women representing Victoria,
Liberty, Equality, Justice and the six
continents are to ride on a Victoria
float in the main body of the parade.
Delegates from various suffrage or
ganizations of the state will be in line.
Other divisions will represent the
states where women now have the
franchise.

CHURCH MEET ON COAST

geIec for 1917 Session.

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 23.-Los
Angeles was chosen as the place Of
meeting of the national council of
congregational churches in 1917,
after a contest between delegations

tions give religious instruction or

NAVAL AVIATION CORPS
Daniels Proposes Independent Air
Body, Like the Marines.

Washington, Oct. 23.-A naval avia-
ton corps, independent of the navy
proper, with the same status as the
marine corps, will be recommended to
congress by Secretary Daniels as one
step toward the Improvement of the
aviation service at sea.
The present requirement of law
that a man to enter the aviation serv-
ice must be a graduate of the naval
academy or to have served something
like two years in the line would be
abolished and men would be enlisted
from civil life with the opportunity
of becoming full-fledged officers of
the navy.
Secretary Daniels has been led to
adopt the plan because of the remark
able aeronautic service to warning
European nations by young men with
out military training who had become
expert in handling motors through
their daily occupations.
Secretary Daniels is still uncertain
as to the value of the motors furnish
ed with the aeroplanes now available
and will continue consultation with
experts with view of remedying
recognized defects.
