KANSAS WOMAN GIVES POINTERS
TO FLA. SUFFRAGlSTS

Jacksonville, Feb. 11-How the
women of Kansas secured the State
ballot was told by Mrs. George Guern-
sey, of Independence. Kan. in an in
formal address before the members
of the Florida Equal Franchise League
last night. She suggested that the or
ganization in Jacksonville secure mu-
nicipal suffrage first, as the women
in her State did, and then demon
strate their fitness to vote. This she
declared would secure them the State
privilege.
Members of the league asked many
questions about the working plans.
In part Mrs. Guernsey said: "We
formed a State suffrage organization,
brought a number of suffragists there
for campaigning and after working
strenuously for several months were
completely showed under We then
organized more completely. In con-
nectlon with the state work we nau
the counties organized for work. with
county leagues or clubs in every town
or city. We did not do stump speak
ing, etc. At social affairs we took
advantages of opportunities to try to
convincethe men of the value of giving
women full suffrage. Each woman
was to convert the men in her family,
and it was said that if a woman could
not convert the men in her household
shecertainly had little influence in
thecommunity. And so we system
atically worked in the homes, avoided
stump speaking. had no outside suf-
frage campaigners to assist with the
legislature, and were successful" The
speaker cited many amusing incidents.

EFFORT TO LOWER
INFANT DEATH RATE

Berlin, Feb. 11.-Some of the
difficulties which, for the present at
least, confront many of the details
of plans for increasing the birth
rate of Germany. have led to
strong companion movement to low
er the infant death rate Its propon-
ents argue that many steps are pos
sible along this line at the present
time.
Prof. Dr. Langstein. director of
the kaiserin Aueuste Victoria
House for combating infant mortal
ity in the German empire. believes
that it will be possible to reduce
Germany's loss in infants to seven
or eight per cent, Sweden's present
rate, and thereby gain about 100000
in population annually. He relies
largely upon education to accomplish
this result--educatio beginning
with children in the folk schools,
and extending upwards so as to in
clude every person who has anything
to do with babies, mothers, nurses,
physicians, and SO on.
He advocates a mild form of sex
hygiene instruction in the schools, as
well as both theoretical and practi-
cal education as to the care of chill
dren which shall extend from the
lowest through the highest schools.
The newspapers can be a great
educative power for good, he be-
lieves, and he recommends that they
publish helpful articles at regular
intervals. They must, however,
eliminate advertisements of "offer-
ings, the use of which already costs
the lives of not inconsequential
number of babies"
Maternity hospitals and like in
stitutions have in the past, he be-
lieves, had too great tendency
merely to give assistance at birth
and have failed to pay any attention
or to exercise any supervision over
mothers or children afterwards.
This must be altered, he says, so that
by some system of inspection the hos
pitals may continue to exert whole
some influence.
In every corner of Germany there
have sprung up so-called Care In
stitutions, where the wives and
families of soldiers have been given
all sorts Of aid from meals to clothes
and money, advice and general over
sight. Prof Langstein hoped that
these institutions will not disappear
after the war, but rather that they
will continue, and develop so as to
fit into his whole social plan.

CHILDREN BETTER CLOTHED
THAN HERETOFORE

London, Feb. 11.-"Never during
my thirty years experience as a
school teacher have the children of
the elementary schools, especially
those of the poorer districts, been so
well clothed and shod or appeared SO
tidy and well nourished as since the
remark made by one of London's
veteran school mistresses in reply to
the reported evil effects of the sub
stantial separation allowances made
to the wives of soldiers of the Brit
ish army.
Reports have been current
throughout the country that many
of the soldiers wives have given way
to the d rinking habit and neglected
their homes during their husbands S
absence at the front. Teachers,
clergymen of all denominations and
other persons in close touch with the
labo-ing classes almost unanimously
declare that such is not the case in
the majority of instances, They point
out that owing to the disappearance
of many of the male habitues of sa-
looms the presence of women in those
establishments has become more no.
ticeable. The numbers of those ad-
dicted to drinking at bars. however,
has. they assert, not increased. Most
of the women, on the contrary, have
taken advantage of the fact that
they have more money at their dis
posal to replenish their wardrobes
and those of their children, and In
many instances they have placed
some OF their allowance in savings
banks and will thus be able to give
their husbands a pleasant surprise
ON their return to civil life after the
war.
