WOMEN WIN VOTE

The great state of New York
awoke to find nearly 100000
voters within its borders.
Woman suffrage has won in New
York, and latest indications are that
after 60 years of continuous effort,
since the first woman suffrage con-
vention was held in the United States
New York is the first of the great
eastern states to grant women the
ballot, and having won their fight,
the suffragists of the Empire state
now will turn their attention toward
federal amendment to enfranchise
women throughout the United States.

.CR|T|C|SES EXTERIOR OF
CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL
James W. Berry Urges Alumni Of
Eastern to Have New Building
Improvement Over Central.

Criticising the exterior appearance OF
new Central High School. James W
Berry. president of the Eastern High
School Alumni Association, has sent
out a letter to graduates of Eastern
urging them to cooperate in seeking
to have the new Eastern High School
designed and built along lines in keep
ing with other architecture in the Ma
tional Capital.
After presenting statements favoring
the colonial or modified classic style
such as that of the Western High
School. the Elizabeth V. Brown School
al Chevy Chase and the University OF
Virginia. Mr. Berry declares:
The other alternative is a hodge
podge. which its advocates dignity as
English Gothic. Instances of this are
to be found in the new Central. and a
lifeless copy thereof. on a smaller
scale. the Dunbar High School. We are
not objecting to the interior of the
costly Central, but TO the exterior. Its
hideous outlines. gloomy walls and
terra Gotta excrescences have been adj
versely criticised widely by artists and
architects.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-08-17
In Harmony With Location.

President Berry explains that
The plans for the new Eastern are
of such concern to all in any way in
terested in the school and to citizers
of the District of Columbia generally
that it becomes n duty to call for opin-
ions on this important subject. Even
in these days of billions. $4,000 is
too great a sum to eXpend on a perma-
nent building that may he false note
in the systematic plans for the adorn-
ment of Washington.
The site is on the edge of a park
that is to be of unrivaled beauty, SO
that the setting will be as lovely as
that of the Lincoln memorial in Po-
toinac Park. OF course. the new build
ing should be in harmony with such
"A location. Many have expressed them
selves as hoping that the design may
be of the colonial or classic order,
modified for modern conditions. the
uses of y school and the sum of money
sire of the Fine Arts Commission which.
properly enough, has taken deep in
terest in thy question"
Alumni of eastern are urged to write
to Mr. Berrs expressing their views
on the subject of the architecture Of
TIE proposed new building. These
views are TO be complied and presented
to the Engineer Commissioner of the
District of Columbia.

Architecture Vastly Important.

The psychological effect of architect
ural environment is vastly important;
so much so that the school authorities
are advocating the adornment of
schools to secure an inspiring atmos
phere. Do you want the Eastern to
produce such an effect or do you want
it to be a nightmare, thing of shreds
and patches, such as a St Louis archi-
tect produced in the new Central? Do
YOU want il in harmony with the de-
velopment of Washington, to form a
picture of rare attractiveneSs. or a
hyphenated mess that will make you
sick at heart? Do YOU want il clean
cut and thoroughbred in outline like
the Western, which it will balance geo
graphically. or an Lnspeakable COM
binatiou that no architect could COM
mend DO you want ii clumsy and
uncouth. or graceful with tho polish
ed corners of the temple" to typify the
purity ard charm Of the hundreds of
womanly girls who have il the past
adorned the old Eastern, and to in
spire those who will come after in the
future classes

MEXICO PLANS TO TAKE UP
ITS OWN NATIONAL LOAN
Authorities Start Movement for Sub
scriptions of Days Pay From Each
Person Drawing Salary.

The Mexican authorities have in
OF Michoacan and in the federal dis
trict for taking up the loan OF $780,
100000 national gold ts1e5. 100000
Americanl within the republic itself.
The initial plan is that each person in
receipt of a salary or wages through
out the entire country shall periodi-
cally devote one days pay to that OBJ
ject. The periods are to be of two
months duration and days are to be
set apart. called patriotic days" for
the making of such contributions to
the loan.
The experience of the government in
the retirement OF the paper currency
is considered an indication of the will
ingness and ability of the people to
assist III the movement. Many millions
of paper money were donated by all
classes TO he burned. while gifts of
jewelry and other valuables were made
for the same purpose. thus materially
aiding in settling the national cur
rency problem, There was no question
of reimbursing these donations.
Belief is expressed that IL the bonds
We're offered to the common people as
were the liberty bonds in the United
States in small denominations, many
millions would be subscribed, just as
WAS the case in France when the Ger
man indemnity of 1870 was met by tho
people That there is far more coin in
the country than is generally supposed
was demonstrated at the beginning of
the present year. when specie payments
were resumed.
