NATIONAL WOMAN
SUFFRAGE ASSN. Be
At ATLANTIC CITY
RY Associated PRESS.

Atlantic City, Aug. 10.-The forty
eighth annual convention of the Ma
tional American Woman Suffrage AS
ISOLATION will be held here September
6 to 10. The principal wor kof the
convention will be to decide whether
the Association viii confine It's efforts
in the future to Federal or State leg
islation, or both.
The convention will determine,
among other things, what course the
suffragists win pursue to press the
advantages won in the endorsement of
their cause in the platforms of the
various political parties. Leading
suffragists are enthusiastic in the be-
lief that the developments of the
convention viii pave the way for what
they confidently assert is the newt
able establishment of national suff-
rage for women.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, Of New
York, president of the Association,
will preside over the convention. DR..
Anna Howard Shaw, honorary presi-
dent, is expected to address the del
.egates. Former Justice Charles
Evans Hughes, Republican presiden-
tial nominee and Theodore Roose-
welt have been invited to speak.
The endorsement by Mr.. Hughes of
the proposed constitutional amend
n1ent for suffrage has appealed
strongly to the delegates to the con-
vention. It is more than likely that
the action of the convention will in
fluence many of the 100000 women
voters in the twelve suffrage states.
The Executive Council of the Asso-
citation will hold it's session the day
prior to the opening of the convention
At this time Mrs. Gait will report in
her capacity of chairman of tha Cam
spaign and Survey Committees, pre-
senting q diagnosis" of the suffrage
situation. A general discussion will
follow. In the afternoon it is plan
ned to have the Executive Council di
vide into groups, each selecting 1
State best adapted to immediate cam
paign work. The report of thes
groups will later be made to the en-
tire council. The evening session vii
be devoted to discussion of a possibl
constructive plan to secure create
efficiency.
A three-eornered discussion to de
tern1ine the active policy of the assC
citation viii be held on these ques
tions: "Shall the Association dro
work on the Federal Amendment p
"Shall it concentrate on Federal an
drop State work?"; "Shall it col
tinue Federal and State Work ?
When it is decided what program {
activity the National Associate
shall undertake, the consideration {
the problem next in order, namel
how more effective support of tn,
policy may be secured, will be deba
ed.
The question of taking part in Il
Congressional elections will be pr
scented and discussed during the clio
ing session.

LARGE CROWD HEAR
WOW BOYS CONCERT

One Of the largest crowds in the
history of the city attended the con-
cert by the Alabama Institution
School Band in Mallory Court last
night.
The concert commenced promptly
at eight thirty opening with |'Uncls
Toms Cabin" melody of familiar
southern songs. The Overture, Poet
and Peasant, was followed by short
address by Col. G. H. Younger who
was introduced by P. L. Rollo, prom
inent Pensacola Woodman, acting as
chairman.
Col. Younger expressed his delight
at being in Pensacola again this year,
and stated that the encampment has
been a most pleasant one.
Following the third number, which
was "Humoreske" DR.. H. A. Elkourie
was introduced by Mr.. Rollo. DIR.
Elkourie is head adviser for the Uni
form Rank w. o. w. for the state of
Alabama, and is prominent in politi-
cal and professional circles in Biz
mingham. He >was recently appoint
ed by President Wilson to the COM
mittee for the relief of Christians in
Turkey.
! Opening his remarks by q brief
| compliment to the city of Pensacola
DR.. Elkourie said that it is indeed an
ideal convention city, and had contin.
ually attracted him here during the
year, which has elapsed since his first
visit. Touching on the subject of the
Boys Band he said that Alabama feels
proud of the institution that can take
an orphan with immense capabilitieI
for either right or wrong, and cult
vate his talents in the proper direc
ton.
! At this point he stressed the impor
lance of the home in national life ant
stated that one of the greatest force
in the modern world outside tn
church, for conserving the home lif
is the Woodmen of the World. Elab
Grating on the statement of tn
value of fraternal life in nationa
unity, he said that if ever a new re
igion is founded to embrace all pee
pies it would be based on the wild
principles of brotherhood.
In conclusion, DR.. Elkourie sal
that when he returns to Birmingham
he will in some manner, psycholog
cal, or otherwise, attempt to infus
into his patients some of the Joy {
visit to Pensacola.
Following DIR. Elkourie's address
the musical program was continue

of the section relief will be slow in
reaching there and fears are felt that
many will perish of starvation.

Jaco was unable to get up the Kay

Ohio, but expressed the belief that
damage and loss of life there was
greater than in other sections. The
entire valley between Miami and De
Sofa was devastated, he said, every
thing movable having been washed

His Remarkable Career.

Few careers have covered wider ex-
tremes of fortune than did that Of
John of Cappadocia. He was Ro-
man officer of very high rank under
the Emperor Justinian in the sixth
century. He was "a very able man,
and under his direction the finances
of the government fourished wonder
fully. Incidentally he amassed a
great fortune for himself. But he was
very corrupt, and the revenues were
raised ION the deaths of thousands,
the poverty Of millions, the ruins Of
cities and the desolation of provinces"
He lived most eXtravagantly and in
dulged in all sorts of wicked prac-
tees. But his life of ostentatious
profigacy was suddenly changed into
one of abject poverty. Though guilty.
of many crimes, he was accused of
one of which he seems to have been
innocent and was condemned to be
scourged like the lowest of criminals.
Nothing of his vast fortune was left
him but one old ragged cloak, and it is
said that for seven years he begged
bread in the streets of cities that once
had trembled at his name.

ENsLAyED BY CLOCKS

ENSLAVED BY CLOCKS
There is no escaping the fact
that the man who invented the clock
and the men who have since devel-
oped its manufacture SO as TO make
it a useful servant made a great
contribution to mankind. Never
theless, measuring time off on a
mechanical basis and regulating in
dustry, moulding leisure, and fix
ing eating, rising and retiring time
has not been an uumixed bleS sing.
The clock and all it represents has
become the master as we'll as the
servant of humanity.
Now, according to press.dispatch-
es Germany in accordance with her
many efficiency and common sense
innovations has determined to
change the clocks to accord more
nearly with nature. We are told
that clocks will be set ahead an
hour during the summer season,
This has been advocated frequent
ly on sound theoretical grounds and
it is to be hoped that it will be put
upon a sound practical basis.
AS health promoting measure

little which would secure so much.
Consider few of the advantages
of changing the clock hours so as
to more nearly coincide with sun
hours. Hygienists holding that

ton, more sunlight and fresh air.

A Peasant Bow PHILOSOPHER.

Very remarkable was the bOyhoOd of
the celebrated James Ferguson, who
was born at Keith, in Banffshire, Scot
land, in ITO. His father, who was
day laborer, taught him to read and
write and sent him to school for three
months at Keith. At the age of eight
he constructed a clock Of wood that
kept remarkably good time and after
ward made wooden watch with
whalebone spring He began to earn
his first money by cleaning and mend
ing clocks in the neighborhood. His
astronomical pursuits commenced soon
afterward, his father having sent him
to neighboring farmer, who employed
him in watching his sheep. While thus
occupied he amused himself at night
by watching the stars and during the
day in making models. In 1747 he pub
Hshed his book on the phenomena OF
the harvest moon, and this was fol-
lowed by other astronomical works.
