new SUFFRAGE BILL GIVES 10000
WAYNE COUNTY WOMEN FRANCHISE

Approximately $4,000 women in
Wayne county are given the right to
vote by the woman suffrage bill re-
Gently passed by the state legislature.
This was estimated by county offic-
ials. There are 1900 male voters in
Wayne county.
County officials estimated that not
over fifty per cent. of the women will
exercise the right to vote.
Women get to vote for all city offic-
ials but are restricted from voting for
those county officials whose offices
were established under provisions OF
the state constitution. including the
treasurer, clerk, sheriff and auditor.
win Re.disttict Richmond.
Because of the woman suffrage law.
county commissioners will be required
to change practically all voting pre-
cincts of the county next year. The
law requires that there shall be a
precinct for every two hundred and
fifty voters. There are at present
sixty-five precincts.
The general election law permits
commissioners to re-district precincts
only on general election years. Since
county commissioners have charge OF
creating and changing precincts for
city elections, there will be no adj
ditional precincts in Richmond this
fall unless the legislature passes some
emergency law to meet conditions
created by the suffrage measure. This

will result in crowded conditions at
the polls.
Votes to Be Kept Separate.
The woman suffrage act is so drawn
that the votes of women will be kept
apart from the men. both in casting
and counting. At each voting place,
special booths must be provided for
the women, The women will use diff.
ferent kinds of ballots from the men.
There are two reasons for this. The
women have the right to vote for only
part of the candidates and it is de-
sired to know what per cent. Of the
women exercise their right to vote.

Railroads Break All Records

More coal was forwarded this
season from ports of the Great
Lakes up to Dec. / than during the
entire season of 1916, which was
the record year, according to a re-
port to the Railroads War Board
by G. l.. Peck, vice president of the
Pennsylvania railroad and chair
man of the Committee on Lake
Coal and Ore Transportation.
Not only have the Lakes carried
more coal this year than ever bef-
ore, said Mr. Peck, but the North
west has received, all-rail, from
the fields of Illinois and Indiana
this year nearly three times as
much coal as that section received
by rail last year.
In the first nine months of this
year there were sent to the North
west 6, 1876, 600 tons Of coal, as
compared with l, S95 600 tons last
year, an increase of i, 341, 600,
tons. The total increase for eleven
months of the year is about 4, 800.
600 tons.
If the lake and rail tonnage for
the season are combined it will be
seen that the Northwest has not
only had it's full quota of coal but
that it has Jared better even than
communities in and around the
coal-producing centers.
Such information as we now
have indicates that the consumers
of about 81 per cent Of the coal Of
the country are now we'll supplied,
and in some cases over-supplied,
whereas the consumers of 16 per
cent of the output, which repres-
sents the proportion of the coal
used for domestic purposes are
likely to suffer some inconvenience
in certain sections.

Light From the Left Side.

The well-known fact that, when US.
Ing the eyes for any near work, the H.
Elimination should come from the left
side rather than the right is often dis.
regarded. Let anyone who considers
the matter Of little Importance once
demonstrate to himself the difference
and he will never forget it. Take q
pencil and paper and try to write while
in such position that the light will
fall from the right side. The shadow
of the hand or pencil or both is thrown
on the paper in such way as partly
to cover the characters one is making.
This necessitates closer viewpoint
and conscious strain on the eyes.
Now let the position of the writer be
reversed so that the light falls on the
work from the left side. He will no.
tice that the shadows fall away from
the work he Is doing and leave the
field unObscured. In making the
change he cannot help hut notice the
feeling Of ease that Immediately is ex.
perienced by the eyes. This applies
tn any other kind of near work In
which the fingers work under the guid.
ance of the eyes. This fact should
be remembered in planning school.
rooms, workrooms, offices and any
places where steady close work is to
be performed.

'The reduction in passenger ser

vice which have been made by all
the railroads in the United States
amount to over 25, 600, 600 train
miles per year,, said R. II. Ashton
chairman Of the Central Depart
ment Committee of the Railroads
War Board. These reductions are
made solely to enable the railroads
to handle the freight service deem
ed more necessary for the countrys
welfare, with the one great oobject
of winning the war.
Because of different conditions
prevailing it has not been necess
ary to make as extensive reduction
in passenger train service in West
ern as in Eastern territory.
Passenger traffic never was so hea.
Wy in Western territory as it is
now and the service must be main
tanned to the fullest extent possi--
BILE. However, should war condit-
ions create an emergency requiring
further reductions in passenger
servic we are fully confident that
the American public will cheerful.
