SUFFRAGISTS WANT WOMEN
RECOGNIZED IN CIVIL SERVICE.

NEW YORK, Nov. 24-The execu-
tive committee of the National Ameri-
can Woman Suffrage association, today
gave out for publication the following
resolutions passed by the association
al its meeting held Wednesday, No
vember Sth, and to which the Exec
utive committee has determined to
give the widest publicity possible. The
resolutions follow:
Whereas, 1t has been brought to our
attention that in filling positions in the
civil service, officials of the federal
government discriminate against wo-
men against women applicants because
of their sex; and,
Whereas. Public records show that
since September s, 1916, among 100 ap-
pointments and 80 transfers to clerical
positions in the war department at
Washington only one woman was in
Guided, although it does not appear
that the positions were such that sex
would have been a factor in efficiency
or suitability; and,
Whereas, The civil registers of eli.
sibles from which said appointments
we're made reveal no lack or cores
pending disproportion of qualified wo-
men as compared with qualified men,
there being 937 women and 1908 men
on those registers on October %, 1916;
and,
Whereas, The discriminatory atti-
tude of officials of the government is
further reflected in the fact that wo-
men are not admitted to the special
service examinations for stenographers
and typewriter now being held month
~ in 400 cities of the United States
and are similarly excluded from manY
ether examinations, which they are
competent to take; and,
Whereas, This discrimination ap
pears further in the fact, as set forth
in the civil service manual, that the
usual entrance salary for men stenog.
raphers and typewriters is 5000 per
year, while for women stenographerf
and typewriters it is $72O, and we are
informed that men are also given pref
erence in promotions, upon grounds d
sex alone; therefore, be it,
Resolved, That the National Boar,
of the National American Woman Suf
frage association express to the presl
dent of the United States and to thu
head of each of the executive depart
ments of the federal government thei
emphatic protest against this discrim
nation on the part of appointing off
Gals, and demand, in behalf of tn
women of the country, who are taxe
equally with men, to support the gov

a powerful Indictment OF race sui

is a powerful indictment OF race sui
eide.
Every strata of life is affected in its
mission--from the wife of the district
attorney of New York to the all-trust-
ing little daughter of his housekeeper,
who was the victim of his own broth
er-in-law. The trial of the physician
for malpractice is one of the most
impelling climaxes yet given to motloa
pictures. Evidence adduced in the
trial tells the district attorney that
before sitting in judgment of others, he
should investigate he affairs of his
own household, and his is the most
startling development in the denoue-
ment of Where Are My Children"

EFFORT TO LESSEN
CHRISTMAS FIRES
Fire Prevention Agencies Co
operate To Reduce Con-
f1agratiOns.

A strong effort is being made
in Arkansas this year tocut down
the fire and accident list due to
the hazards of Christmas time.
The Arkansas Actuarial Bureau
and other fire prevention agen-
.cies are cooperating in this move.
ment The National HI Protec.
tive association is sci lg out
tens of thousands of Holiday
Fire Bulletins" and as a result
many homes will be saved and
injury and loss Of life prevented.
Every readerknows"
says j. $. Speed, manager of the
Arkansas Actuorial Bureau, chat
the great loss of life and property
that used TO be regarded as a reg
ular thing on the Fourth of July
has been cut down to point
which it was thought, a few years
ago, impossible to reach. 1t was
entirely a matter of changed pub
lie sentiment.
The public is governed by
of common sense.
Sooner or later the sensible thing
happens-the reasonable senti-
ment prevails. That's why Christ
mas fires are decreasing year by
year. 1t is not reasonable or
to mar the holiday fest
i've season by holocost loss of life,
burned homes and broked fami-
lies. A few moments reflection
is sufficient to prevent Christmas
hazards in your home. Stop and
think! Win you put cotton and
paper orn@ments on your Christi
mas trees this year ? Metafrcsl
tinsel and non-infammable deco
are cheap. VIII you use
cotton to represent snow when
you know that many, many fires
lave been caused by it? If you
can't get powdered mica, some
lines called diamond DUST" or
asbestos fiber, better pass the
snow up. What possible ex-
,use could you make for your
self if your children are injured
~ your home burned through
citing them light and play with
he Christmas tree candles? And
,fter Christmas get, rid of the
rec promptly. A dry Christmas
rec burns like tinder. South
