VOTES FOR WOMEN.
Southern States Woman Suffrage
Conference,
AIT Camp Street, New Orleans.

States Rights and Woman's Ballot.
The first historic milestone for the
Southern States Woman Suffrage
Gonference was reached when, on
FRIDAY, June 16, 1916, the Demo
| cratic party went on record as recon-
mendlng 1.-THE extension of the fran
chise to women" That the method
was by states is in line with the basic
principles of the party. That the Re
publican party, the week preceding,
should have taken the initiative in
prescribing the states rights route, is
contirmatory of the unanimity with
which our political parties recognize
the line of least resistance for the
! inevitable coming. of the ballot to wo-
men. Opponents generally realize
| that votes for women is logical and
essential component of Democracy.
On methods only do advocates differ.
Since there has been such singular
unanimity on the state-by-state meth
Cd advocated by Republicans as bv
Democrats, future action is clear for
the sutfragists in the states east and
south. The west is not concerned,
since this section has already enfran-
chised its women. Southern women
who are intelligent on political nat
ters will approve earnestly of states
rights continuance in all things af-
fecting the electorate. It is the most
sensitive chord of the Democratic
party and fundamental of it's origin,
1t is the basis upon which jefferson
Duilt his precepts and upon which his
followers tenaciously stand. What
ever qualifications. are laid down. for
men in exercising citizenship rights
can be met by women, and in justice
cannot be denied. Even the specioUs
argument that. force should be an, ac-

atelJ for Immelmann another of our
machines was behind, watching for
just such a move, before he could get
away he was shot down and killed.
We were sorry to learn that he had
been killed for we had hoped to bring
him down alive on our side and make
him prisoner for We all admired his
ability as a pilot and no doubt he was
as chivalrOus as an Hun can be. I
had the honor to drop a wreath for
him from the members of our squad
ron. We subscribed for it, attached a
card inscribed, ITO Lieut.. Immelmann,
brave and able opponent from the
r. f. c. and took it over one after
noon and dropped it by parachute on
one of the airodromes. They shelled
me all the way over and back but did
no damage. I was acknowledged later
in the German papers. Several other
squadrons also dropped wreaths.

like the French and German flying
corps, make it a rule to never publish
the number of machines brought down
by individual pilots. And it is quite
right too, we think. It is an unpleas-
ant thing to have to shoot a man
down and perhaps see him fall in
flames. hardly the thing to gloat over
like horse race. I am sure have no
desire to be held up as a man who
has shot down his "umpteenth enemy

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash it
with.
MOST soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp. makes the hair brittle, and is very
) harmful. Just plain mulsitied cocoanut
Oil (Which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than the most ex-
pensive soap or anything else you can
use. for shampooing, as this can't possi-
ly inJure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub 1t In. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
lather. and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily.
and removes every particle of dust, dirt,
dandrun and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly. and it leaves it
fine and silky. bright. fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsi1ed cocoanut oil at
