possibility Of any misunderstanding as
to the actual purpose OF the reteren-
dunn, according to Mrs. Young.
Quotes the Constitution.
Mrs. Young's statement ollow
".No law extending or restricting
the right Of suffrage shall be in force
until adopted by a majority Of the
electors of the state voting. at a gen.
eral election 400
"This is the language Of section 122
of our North Dakota constitution, n
1t Is so plain that no one can mlsun-
derstand it. In order to make a law
valid, which extends suffrage. 1T must
be adopted by a majority of the eiec-
tors: unless we are to treat u con
stitution as a scrap of paper.
The last legislature passed a law
which attempts to extend partial Pc
frage to wome without a vote OF
electors. Those who are opposed 10
woman suffrage want a vote on the
question:: those who wish to extend
woman suffrage should also want a
constitution. On April 8, the date
following our announcement that re-
ferendum petitions would be circu-
lated, the suffragist leaders
ed tina they would not oppose the re-
ferendum. Evidently they have
changed their minds.
Purpose Of Referendum.
1.-THE referendum provision of our
constitution authorizes electors to re-
quire a vote on any statute by Ming a
sufficient petition therefor within
ninety days after the legislature has
adjourned.
THE North Dakota Association OPP
posed to Woman Suffrage prepared
and placed referendum petitions in
circulation. We also prepared and
printed an explanatory circular. Our
organization bore the expense of
printing the petitions and these cir
culars. The petition. as circulated by
us. is circulated by volunteers. The
Mems National organization. with
headquarters at Boston, has n number
of members in this state. That organ
ization offered its assistance in circu-
lating petition. Ellis Guild represents
this organization and is in charge in
the eastern part Of the state.
The question is a very important
one and should be determined fairly
and upon mature consideration and
full discussion. Where there have
been such discussions, the decision has
been against suffrage.
Result in Other States.
For instance, Massachusetts de.
feated it in 1915 by 133.447 votes;
Pennsylvania by $3.50 votes; New
jersey by 51.10s votes: New York by
194.9s4 votes. In 1912 Wisconsin de,
feated it by s1,47s votes. In 1914 Ne.
braska defeated 1t by 10,104; North
Dakota by 9,401 votes: Missouri by
140,206 votes; and South Dakota by
1874 votes. In 1912 Ohio defeated
it by S7,455 votes and again in 1911
by 1s2.905 votes. Michigan in 1911:
defeated it by 760 and in 1913 by 96,'
144 votes.

er- Skies Prove Endurance
In Cincinnati Races
MiIes---Average Speed 1O1 Miles Per Hour

don't want to drive 1919 miles in "a hours
as a stock Hudson Super-Six Chassis did when
it broke the 24 hour record by 5236.
But you want car that will keep going as
long as you will ever want it to go. What
the Hudson Super-Six has proved in endur-
ance in speed trials and what was proved in
the Cincinnati races by the Specials, far ex-
eel in severity any test that anyone is ever
likely to make.
Any car will run we'll for time on city
boulevards. Any car will show good speed
for a time But what the car will do under
rough usage and what it will do in a grind
equalling that Of the speedway are indica-
tons of what it will do in years of service.
You would have been firmly convinced Of
Hudson endurance had you seen the Super
Skies at Cincinnati.
Don't think the Super-Six Is a racing car.
But racing cars must stand up under the
hardest service. We are merely proving that
the Hudson Super-Six is an enduring Car.
That it will meet every service task without
disappointment or expense is what these tests
prove.

Unlike other cars entered in the Memorial
Day Races at Cincinnati, the Hudson Super
Six Specials were not designed as racing cars
They are the regular stock Super-Six Cars
with changes that increased their speed and
made them more suitable for racing, but that
have not altered their design.
All that was done to these cars could be
done at nominal cost to anyone of the $4,000
Hudson Super-Six Cars now in use.
Not Built to Win-Built to Endure.
There were many cars entered that were
admittedly faster than the Hudson. But the
epeed car shows for few laps is not always
an indication of what may be expected in a
$50 Mile grind.
Hudsons are matched against the specially
designed racing cars that they may prove
their endurance. Whatever position they fin
ish in is due to their ability to maintain high
speed without mechanical break down.
The Super-Six motors are 9I2 by inches
IN size, exactly the same size as the motors
used in all Hudson Super-Six stock cars.
Most of the racing cars in the sweepstakes
event have larger motors than the Super-Sixes

The Cat and the Chickens.

An authentic story tells of a male cat
and female cat in France that lived on
terms Of perfect amity with all the ami
mails on the place-dogs, chickens and
what not. It so happened that hen
which had a brood of seven chickens
was killed accidentally. The cat, which
some two weeks before had been de-
prived Of her kittens, appeared to OBJ
serve the predicament Of the seven lit
tie chickens. She craewled into their
nest, and the chickens, looking for
warmth, nestled into her warm fur,
peeping gratefully. The chickens, fed
by their owner, throve perfectly, and
every day the strange sight was pre-
scented Of their following the mother cat
about the premises as if expecting her
to find them food after the manner of
a hen.

there and in an article about the

gade, states that Lieut.. Alton A. Doe
has been detailed as one of the in
structors of this school, where non
commissioned officers are to be train
ed. Lieut.. Doe is instructor in map
reading and bayonet fighting. This
is distinct honor for young Doe,
which reflects credit to Orleans as
well. One of the men, who is to take
training in the school is an Orleans

of Lincoln Campbell of this place.

GREATEST OF ALL SUNS.
Giant Campus, the Blue Beauty of the
Southern Hemisphere.


Star gazers of northern lands often
overlook the fact that some of the
most brilliant and beautiful stars and
finest nebulae and star clusters in the
heavens belong to the southern hem
isphere and are not visible in our lati-
tudes.
Magnificent blue Campus, the second
brightest star in the heavens, lies just
below our southern horizon in the
large and important southern constella-
ton Argo Navis, named for the famous
ship of the Argonauts. 1t Is usually
divided into three constellations-Pup-
pts, Carina and Vela. Campus was
the chief pilot Of the Argonauts, but
the star was known and worshiped
on the banks of the Nile long before
1t received its name from the Greeks
and has been called the Star of Egypt
It has also been a guide to many tribes
in Africa, South America and Austria
liza in their journeys through painless
wilds.
Although Sirius appears nearly twice
as brilliant as Campus, this is due
only to the fact that Sirius is compare
lively near to us, not quite nine light
years distant, while Campus has been
estimated to be at a distance of 466
light years. 1t is, as far as we know
the greatest of all the giant suns
equal in light giving power to $4,000
suns such as our own. Sirius, with a
brilliancy estimated at forty-eight
times that of the sun, shrinks into a
pygmy when contrasted with Campus.
