marry them. OF course many of US
can smoke without marrying them.
Comic weeklies have SO long aspersed
the married state with jokes of hus-
bands who must have their pipe on
the back steps that they may now feel
properly reproved. And if the matter
were considered further it would prob
ably be found that Minnesota girls are
able to appear before breakfast with
! their hair in its normal array.
| Dancing had never before been
known as a matrimonial credential,
but here these young women show a
subtle understanding of the male ma
ture. Graceful dancers and inveterate
smokers have mild, plant natures.
| Like the COWS in the meadow, they are
docile. With such one and on an
adequate salary these enterprising
Minnesota girls propose to bound the
billowy main of marriage.

BY MORRIS MILLER.

In reply to the pertinent query,
What salary do you require in your
future husband?" the young women of
the University of Minnesota returned
varied and interesting answers. The
question, appearing in the Minnesota
Daily, student paper, sought to pro-
woke a profitable discussion among its
young and manageable readers. Con-
sideration of the opinions of these
many young women shows it to have
been successful.
The average salary named was ST.
600 year. One young woman was
found, however, who declared that she
would marry, of her own free will, on
$780, Another who seemed to have
ideas of her own, held out for $4,000
There were qualifications, however
and some of the answers demanding
high earning capacity showed a com

NEWS OF EQUAL SUFFRAGE AS
SO(ItTI0N,

The Illinois Equal Suffrage associa-
ton is making an active campaign in
the interest of civic affairs and many
towns report most interesting bits Of
news regarding betterment of condi-
tons in their communities.
Alton is one instance where the sit
uation IS gratifying There are three
women on the school board who are
doing good work. Women secured the
appointment of a food and milk in
spector. This position is filled by Miss
Rose Gillespie. Women are also serv-
ing as judges and clerks Of election.
Women have established municipal
dances. Once a week the city gives
dance where the young people are
chaperoned by club women. These
dances have been self supporting, the
Young men paying 25 cents and the
young women being admitted free.
Formerly the young people, who are
factory workers, if they danced at all
had to go to beer gardens in summer
and saloons in winter These
places are now closed for lack
of patronage. The cleanup of Alton
is now celebrated in the movies.
The following communication was
received by Mrs. Harrison Monro
Brown, state president, which is given
to show that efforts are being made to
keep the federal amendment before
congress
apparently Mr. Webb put one over
on the members of his committee who
favor the suffrage amendment. The
vote to postpone action for this ses-
sion was close, being nine to seven,
with five members of the committee
absent At least four of the absentees
favor woman suffrage and would have
voted against the postponement and
for a favorable report instanter had
they been present. Furthermore, the
seven suffragist congressman attend
ing the meeting made no attempt to de-
feat Mr.. Whaley's motion blocking re-
consideration. and in fact paid little
attention TO it, on the theory that the
parliamentary rules applying to the
house did not apply to the committee,
and that they could later carry mo-
ton to reconsider when all their forces
were present.
Chairman Webb holds that the COM
mittee is governed by the same parlia-
mentary rules as those that control the
house and that under those rules he
cannot and will not entertain any mo-
ton to reconsider the vote by which
the suffrage amendment was put over
until after election.
The suffrage members of the judi
eiary committee scott at the idea that
Mr.. Webb can maintain such a posi-
ton. They say they will grant the re-
quest of Mrs Frank NJ. Roessing
chairman of the congressional commit
tee of the national association to have
the vote reconcidered and in due time
presumably when they can rally thei
forces at a future committee meeting
they will contest Chairman Webb
position.
Mrs Roessing, speaking for the Ma
tional association. said that she wa
confident of being able to secure re
. consideration, friends Of the amend
ment having assured her that it coul
v and would be done. 1t is said tina
some of the members of the commit
tee are ready to take the question be
fore the house in case Chairman Web
declines to modify his present posi-
ton

they were too personal.
CD Men and women who value great
love do not indulge in kissing, because
it cheapens and minimizes the power
of love. Only when men and women
