VICTORY FOR SUFFRAGE.
The same advocates of womans
suffrage wen a great victory
when the House of Representa-
t;ves voted to create Committee
on woman's Suffrage
For some months the repre-
sentatives of the so-called
woman's party have been picket
ing the white house and Of late
some of them have been sent TO
Jail. These are the militants of
suffrage movement and they con-
sfitute small but noisy fraction
of the army whi III is working for
the enfranchisement of woman.
Unfortunately their activities
have done the cause tremendous
injury in the east. The average
man fails to differentiate be-
tween the militant and non-mili-
tant. and in his indignation he
cor d .mns the entire suffrage
movement.
The same thing occurred in
England. Out of $50 suffrage
organizations in that country just
one was militant. but it forced
its way on to the first page of the
papers and succeeded in discred-
iting all the others.
The non militant American suf
fragists are determined that they
shall not be held responsible for
the vagaries of the militants. OF
late they have not hesitated to
issue public stat ments deplor-
ing the work Of tie "pickets"
and pointing out that the latter
are not connected with the Nat
ional Woman's Suffrage Associ-
alton.
The first fruit of this policy
was the passage of the resolution
creating the suffrage committee.
Congress wished to recognize the
sane suffragists in a substantial
way and at the same time to ad-
minister a rebuke to the militants

The grave shortage of live
stock as indicated by reports
from practically every market in
the country is giving much con-
Germ to food administration offic-
ials. The Denver live stock mar
ket alone has received to date
this year, over 10000 head of
hogs less than was received up
to the corresponding date year
ago. The west is a trif1e worse
off in this respect than is the east
but the situation is sufficiently
alarming throughout the nation
to cause fear of an impending
meat famine.
The live stock growers are not
inclined to take chances of in
creasing their production in the
face of what they consider an i'm
pending possibility of a declining
market, and, while the viewpoint
of the grower in insisting upon a
guaranteed price insuring Il fair
profit is fully recognized as just,
it is nevertheless held by those
in authority that there is little
danger of falling live stock prices
in fact, all indications point to-
ward even higher prices, espec-
tally in the event that the war.
should end within year or two.
Government. state and local
authorities are uniting in a move
ment to insure increased live
stock production and a guaran-
teed minimum price for the pro
duct.

Washington Letter

w aShlngtOn Letter
By Edward Heating
Congressman from the third Colorado
district.
In the opinion of many of the
ablest men connected with our
military establishment. this war
will be decided in the air and not
in the trenches.
All The nations at war with Ger
many are making airships with
feverish haste. but l think l am
justified in saying that our own
country is proceeding with the
work on a scale which promises
to eclipse the efforts of all the
others.
If plans do not miscarry, when
active operations begin on the
French front next spiing We
should have between $4,000 and
24,0OO flying machines, controlled
by a force of 100, 600 skilled fly
ers,and mechanicians. England
France aud Italy will have similar
aerial fleets and the combired
force should be able to drive
from the air every machine bear
ing the colors of Germany and
her allies.
There is no disposition to balit-
tie the strength, courage or re-
sourcefulness of the enemy. Ger
many has performed marvellous
feats during this struggle, but it
does not seem humanly possible
for that empire to match the com
bined genius and constructive
powers of the world in the matter
of airship construction.
STANDAkD.ZING MACHINES.
This country alone has set aside
$40, 0OO. 900 to defray the cost of
winning the battle in the air.
We have done more-we have
concentrated the> engineering
brains of America on the task of
producing a standardized airship
which it is belived is superior to
any other flying machine.
EXPERTS contend that this stand
ardization is our most important
contribution.
Germany's enemies are now us
ing machines of widely differ
ing types. and the parts are net
standardized. An officer just
back from Europe says an airship
repair shop must carry tens. of
thousands of parts in order to re-
construct any machine which may
be crippled in its vicinity. This
leads to heart breaking delays
and confusion.
Yankee Standardization will
end all this. We intend to con-
struct airships just like Henry
Ford builds his famous automc-
bile. All parts will be wonder
fully facilitated. &
The work is being done in the
big automobile factories of this
country and the report reaching
Congress show that the contract
will be completed on schesule
time.
This war should settle for all
time the question of the freedom
of the seas. The modern airship
will render it practically impossi-
BILE for any nation to fence off
Gods oceans and those great
highways of the worlds COM
merce will be open on equal terms
to all humanity. Of course, it is
conceivable that some power may
claim the mastery of the air. but

About ninc-tenths of American
musical Hits of today are based
on the popular Hawaiian music
as produced in the islands by the
native musicians. When one
stops to think moment this is
quite remarkable, inasmuch as
these strange people have style
acquired by themselves and very
few are educated musicians.
Hawaiiaas are probably the
strangest race of people in the
world, the travellers who have
visited these strange and enchant
ing islands bring back tales that
have made the fiction writer's of
bygone days pale into insigpiffi-.
canoe.
To Hawaiian all is beautiful.
Decorated with Lais they while
away their carefree lives on the
wave washed shores of Wikaiki
singing the plaintive melodies
and dancing the. strange native
dances.
Warren's Famous Haw aiians,
who will appear at the Odd Eel
lows Hall Saturday night Oct. 6,
are genuine native entertainers
who present a varied program
that will be remembered long in
the memory of wonderful ever
ings.

day who appeared to have a real
grievance. He had been touring for
some little time, the battery had CIV
en- him no trouble at all during the
last two or three days, but all of a
Sudden it seemed to have gone dead.
In his trouble he came in to us and
asked that we take his battery down
for inspection and repair it.
eve opened the battery and found
that it had been over-charged; that
is, the generator was returning to it
far more energy than was being used
by starter and lights. The plates
were buckled and bent out of shape,
the insulation was ruined, and the
active material in the plates Qead
oxide) was softened and ready to
|crumble. In other words, failure to
take the temperature of the battery,
or to let the service station do it,
had absolutely ruined the battery.
"There is such a thing as battery
being killed by kindness. We fire.
quently have for repair batteries
whose owners have not only kept
them filled with distilled water, but
kept them overfilled. When too
much water is put into the battery
the excess is forced out through the
cap. This excess, however, is no
longer pure water but diluted acid,
which naturally eats away the case
of the battery.
"The jars in the Willard battery
are subjected to severe tests before
they leave the factory, and when we
get battery with a broken jar we
know that the odds are hundred to
one it has not received fair play.
Excessive vibration and rough rid
ing are the two chief causes of crack
ed jars. The prevention suggests
driving, and when the
riding is rough, see to it that the
battery is firmly clamped down.

THE BATTERY MAN
AS A DETECTIVE.
c. S. Peterson, Local Willard Service
Man, Talks Interestingly
Of Batteries.

No part of an automobile shows
more quickly the effect of abuse than
the storage battery, and each partic-
ular form of abuse has its definite
sign, according to c. S. Peterson, the
local Willard service man.
''We men in the automobile bust
ness says Mr.. Peterson, ''hear a
great deal about guarantees being
abused, but battery men are never
bothered with that kind of thing.
.'We don't have to be wizards to
discover when a guarantee is being
overstepped for the battery tells its
own story.
"a man comes in to us with bat
terry which he says is practically new
and which lie thinks he has given
the best of attention, but he says it
will not hold the discharge. He
forthwith demands new battery.
I'VE take his battery down and
find perhaps that the upper half Of
the plates is covered with white sui
plate and that there is a sharp line
Of demarcation between the upper
and lower halves.
1.-THE battery has told us the whole
story. The owner might have
thought that he was treating it care
fully when he did not use it to run
the automobile or when he was prac-
ticing economy of current in start
ing and lighting. But he has never
filled it with distilled water. The
water in the battery has evaporated;
only the lower half Of the plates had
been exposed to the action of the
electrolyte. The capacity of the bat
terry naturally has been cut in two
and the upper half Of the plates has
been ruined. No wonder that it
wouldn't hold the charge.
Another man comes in and says
his battery is dead. He, also, has
given it the best of attention, has
never done anything with it that the
service station has not recommended,
and now it won't work. He, too, de-
mands new battery or that this one
be put in good condition.
'.Hydrometer tests show high
specific gravity, so we tear down the
battery and find that it, is short-cir-
-eH.ted, that the wooden insulations
