WOMEN TO PLAN
ELECTION FIGHT
New National Party Is to Hold Confer
ence at Colorado Springs Next
Month.

Washington, July l5.-Miss Anne Mar
tin, chairman Of the executive committee
of the National Woman's party, yester
day sent out the official call for the con.
ference of that party to be held at Col.
orado Springs Aug. 10 to II. The pur-
pose as stated in the call, is "to decide
on measures TO be adopted by the wom-
ans party in the coming election to win
national suffrage for women"
In view of the fact that the Democratic
party is the responsible party in power
and its leaders have blocked suffrage
amendments in Congress, it is expected
the new party will oppose the Democrats
in the enfranchised states.
The call says:
'Womans political power has more
than doubled since the last presidential
election. In 1912 there were only six
suffrage states, with about 5000 900
women qualified to vote. These six suf-
frage states elected only 81 members of
the electoral college. To-day there are
II suffrage states controlling 9l elector-
al votes, with over 100000 women quail
flied to vote for president. The fact
that these states control one fifth of the
college and cast one third of
the votes necessary to elect president
gives women voters the power to deter
mine the election of the next president.
"W ask you, therefore, to meet with
us in Colorado Springs on Aug. 10, IL
and u to consider what policy the WON
ans party, working Independently of all
political organizations, shall adopt in the
coming election to secure the submission
Of the national suffrage amendment"

Washington, July l5,-,Iohn II. Clarke
United States district judge at Cleve
land, was nominated by President vii
son yesterday as an associate justice OF

for the presidency.
The president discussed his selection
at yesterdays cabinet meeting and sent
the nomination TO the Senate immediate.
ly afterward. He made the final decision
yesterday morning. Judge Victor J.
Bowling of the New York supreme court
was seriously considered. Judge Clarke
was appointed district Judge about two
years ago by the president, who. there
fore, was thoroughly acquainted with his
qualifications. The appointment was
urged strongly by Secretary Baker.
The president confidently expects that
Judge Clarke will be confirmed during
the present session of Congress in order
that he may begin the study of cases
pending before the supreme court before
the converting of the court in the fall.

Series of Three-Day APPOINTMENTS Of

Washington, July ia series o

little to do while the Senate completes it,

If Your Ego Bothers You--Go Look a
the Stars.


: In the July American Magazine "Sid
says:
"a cube one seven thousandth OF al
. inch in diameter is pretty small object
1t would not choke a mosquito. Yoi
could not see it unless you used micro
scope. Possibly, if it were made OF the
right kind of stuff, and if it flew into
your eye, you might feel it. But ever
that is doubtful.
yet Uncle John Brashear. in his de
lightful article shows that a little cube
just that big floating around in Lake
Erie takes up exactly as much room in
the lake, by comparison, as our earth
fills in the space around us, known and
measured by astronomers, the bound
aries of which are only as far away as
the nearest star.
"This recalls Mark Twain's great story,
Captain Stormfeld's Visit to Heaven,
wherein are recorded the difficulties
which the captain confronted in the next
world when he tried to explain where he
came from. He said that San Francisco
was his native place. Nobody in heaven
had heard of San Francisco. Then he
named California and, meeting with no
response he went on with considerable
| irritation to mention the United States
and America. Nobody had heard of
them. Finally be claimed the earth as
his former home, and at last, after long
search through the records of heaven, it
was discovered that among the billions
upon billions of stars, worlds. constella
tons and planets there was, in the dusty
tones. a slight reference to an insignif-
cant speck known in heaven as The Wart,
and recognized by Stormfield al our good
old Mother Earth
"In this connection it is also well to
remember that the wonders of time are
as great as the wonders of space. No
body knows or can even guess how long
this big show has been running. Any
way, it is a very old show as well as
very large one.
81 am glad that Uncle john has
brought this matter to our attention
again. 1t is a good thing once in while
to be set right on our comparative i'm
portanee in the scheme of things For
one thing. it makes the emperor of Ger
many seem less important. Also, it will
help us to pass through the egotism and
dogmatism of a presidential campaign
with better perspective and more humor.
Furthermore, the hardships we have TO
endure riay be nothing compared with !
those which are Fostering the inhabitants |
of other worlds, who. for all we know, /
may be even more self-centered and sen
sitive than we-though this seems hard /
ly possible.
THAT a knowledge Of the stars helps 4
to keep ones ego in proper restraint is
in the case OF Mr.. Brashear
himself, for in all Pittsburg there isn't
man with less ego than Uncle John
ANYBODY, from the mayor down to the
tiniest newsboy on Smithfeld street, will
tell YOU that he Is the biggest man in
he city-and the simplest and most at

luotors spy the old gentleman block

Calls for a Commission to
End the Differ
enceS
WAS SUGGESTED
BY CARRANZA
The Presidents Formal APP
proval Is Expected
Soon

Washington, July l5.-Acting Secre
tary OF State Polk submitted to Presi'
dent Wilson and the cabinet yesterday
Carranza's suggestion for appointment
of a commission of three men from each
nation TO settle for all time the Mexican
problem.
IL became known also that President
Wilson heartily approves the plan. lie
was expected TO put his formal o. X. on
il yesterday afternoon before leaving on
the yacht Mayhower for a week end trip
down the Potomac.
The head of the de facto government
proposes that the commission be directed
to work out complete series OF remedial
steps, probably involving the patrolling
OF the border by the troops of the two
countries.
They would have inquisitorial powers
and would be expected TO search out the
causes of the differences between the peo.
ple on the two sides of the boundary line.
They would be expected to make re-
port, with testimony by Americans and
Mexicans, as to the incidents leading to
the border raid that precipitated the
punitive expedition into Mexico.
Neither Ambassador Arredondo nor
Ambassador Fletcher would be on the
commission, nor would any officer OF the
state department or the Mexican foreign
Office. Mexican members, however, would
be affiliated with the de facto admins
tration, though not in the diplomatic de-
partment.
Negotiations would start at some point
on the border, probably Ell Paso or San
Antonio, in order that Mexican and
United States military authorities might
give the commission their help,
Later the commission would come
north to some summer resort, Asbury
Park or Atlantic City being fayorably
considered

THOROUGHBRED
RACING RESUMED
Old Hawthorne Track in Chicago the
Scene Of Sport, Many Well Known
Horsemen Being Interested.

Chicago, July l5,- Racing fans OF the
whole country as well as those of Chi
cago are reported to be excited over the
resumption of thoroughbred racing here
which begins to-day at the old Haw'
thorne track with a renewal of the ia.
nous American Derby as the feature of
the opening day. IL will be the first
thoroughbred racing here since 1904.
Hearticst support has been accorded the
revival by some of the most prominent
horse lovers and other sportsmen in the
United States, who have signiied their
interest by naming some OF the best
horses in the country for the Derby and
by engaging boxes at the track. Among
the well.known men interested are:
Foxhall Z. keene, Valentine Crane, 10.
scph Lether, Laurence Armour, August
Belmont. and I. c. Bradley.
Strict precautions 10 prevent open bet
ting at the track viii be taken by pro.
moters of the meet, with the co-opera
tion of the sheriff of Cook county. The
latter has promised to have force of
deputies on hand to work with squad
of private detectives in enforcing the
state laws The meet, according to the
promoters, is to be an honest attempt TO
restore horse-racing here without the so
called evils.
A purse of $4,000 has been hung up
for the Derby. This compares not unfa-
yorably, under the circumstances, with
the old stakes, though in 1898 the value
was $4,000 and that OF the last Derby,
in 1904, was S26325. The distance of to-
days race will be mile and six
teenth.

America is importing millions Of dollars
worth of herbs, roots, flowers and seeds, used
in the drug trade which she could easily and
proftably grow at home. America boasts but
one horticultural college for women, yet women
and children might easily be taught to grow:
Caraway seeds, of which we import nearly three
million pounds annually, and which at whole
sale bring or cents a pound; orrs root, of
which we import half million pounds each
year; golden seal, whose seeds are worth S1.50
a pound; NORWOOD, capsicum, ginseng, pepper
mint, thyme, hoarhound, lavender, boneset.
burdock, foXglove, cascara, belladonna, hello
trope, coriander, marshmallow and host of
other medicinal plants.
We mine wastefully, and in turning coal into
coke Pennsylvania wastes nitrogen it needs to
supply its agricultural fields. We waste more
than so per cent of the wood in trees made into
lumber in the process of cutting, saving and
manufacturing. For years tons of valuable
fertilizer have been thrown away by the Co.
lumbia River salmon canning companies
Farmers of Corea, China and Japan have kept
their lands fortified while cultivated for four
thousand years, but in New York, New Eng
land and Ohio farmers have worn out their
lands, through neglect, in fifty years.
There is more gold in the United States to-
day than ever before IN any country in the
worlds history chiefly because the farmer
leads in maintenance Of the nation; yet it is
not assured that gold will remain here. through
agricultural preparedness, nor is it guaranteed
our future by farm efficiency and economy.
We are the most wastefu of nations. partly
because of our youth and partly because of our
lack of training.
America has sent few experts to report to
her farmers agricultural methods throughout
the world. We have no agricultural geography.

China grows two crops Of rice annually, yet
one suffces in Arkansas and Louisiana. Mon
golians on a smaller area, maintain popula-
ton five times larger than that of the United

Uncountable wealth of rich silt and organic
