SUFFRAGE LEADER DID

that in the magnificent drama of the
suffrage victory in THIS state the
woman who should have played the
stellar role has been forgotten. She
says the name of Alva E. Belmont will
go down in history as the woman who
put New York on the suffrage map.
Mrs. Belmont talked today at her
big suffrage building, the two houses
at Nos. 3 and Is East 41st street.
She now state chairman of the Wo-

which rests upon string Of jailed

MAKING Of AUTOS
To BE SUSPENDED
VERY LIKELY THAT NEXT YEAR
THE GOVERNMENT WILL TAKE
OVER ALL OF THE AUTOMOBILE
PLANTS.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-Automa-
bile Manufacturers will stop the pro-
duction of pleasure cars during the
war. Their plants will be devoted to
the production and storage of am
mnnition airplanes, guns, helmets
and other war materials. Manufac-
ture of enogh cars to meet the 40
solute demands of business will he
continued as long as possible.
Shortage of steel and the pressure
of war demands account for the cur
tailment
No date has been set for the dis
tinuing manufacture of the pleasure
cars, but representatives of the au-
tomobile industry and the Council OF
National Defense have recognized 1t
as inevitable, and steps already have
been taken to limit production.
Chairman Clifford of the Council
stated discontinuance of pleasure car
production has become only matter
OF time, and a general curtailment
of the motor car industry Is neces-
say because of the inability to secure
alloy steel now need for government
war work.
Henry Ford and Hugh Chalmers
are among the representatives of the
automobile indutry now here who
are devoting their efforts to trans
forming the motor car production re-
sources into war industries A com
mittee representing the automobile
industries, including Mr. Chalmers,
MIR. Lee, production engineer of the
Ford Company, and ]. L. Copeland, Is
cooperating with the government to
divert the enormous organizations OF
the automobile makers into the ranks
of government war workers.
A plan under consideration by the
Council of Natiinal Defense is to turn
the automobile plants into the NUM-
tinos manufacturing industry. 1t is
estomated that the 100000 or 1000,
900 tons of steel utilized in car pro-
duction annually will just about
cover the extra shell manufacture re-
duired,
The curtailment in the production
of pleasure cars will be gradual, but
officials predict that it will become
noticeable within a few weeks time
Afetr next spring the production OF
motor cars will be reduced to point
where even cars for strictly business
use will become scarce, From al
appearances America will have t.
make the present supply of pleasure
cars tide over Off the period of war

Indigo Once Native Crop.

Some time, about IS years ago, the
money crop Of Alabama, Mississippi
and Georgia was indigo, one of the
most highly priced commodities of the
present day. That was before the
invention of the cotton gin, and nobody
is alive now in this country who knows
how to grow indigo. But q hundred
acres planted to indigo, by a man who
knows how to grow it, would at this
time bring him in more money than al
falfa, cotton, corn and peanuts COM
blned. Indigo is the main ingredient
of some of the high-priced dyestuffs,
the scarcity of which is felt all over
the world, and which will continue to
advance in price long after the war
is over. The same soil is here on
which it used to grow, only our fore
fathers found it more profitable to
grow cotton. aud indigo was left for
other countries to grow and thrive
upon.-Demopolis (Ala.) Times.

Rolled Steak.

Trim all the fat and muscle from a
large slice Of round steak. Crumb two
slices of bread, add a level teaspoon
full Of salt, the same of chopped pars-
ley Or some favorite sweet herb, a
pinch of pepper and a,teaspoonful Of
melted butter. Pile this mixture on
the steak. Roll the steak and tie with
twine in three places. Place the steak
In a baking dish, add a large slice Of
onion and two cupfuls of boiling water.
Cover closely and cook one or more
hours, until very tender. Make a
gravy with two level ~teaspoonfuls each
of flour and butter and the liquid in
the dish, which should measure one
cupful, and if it does not, add water
to make the right amount. Season
with more salt, if needed, and pour
round the steak on the serving dish. A
steak cooked without covering will be
dry and hard unless basted often, and
even then will not be as good as when
covered closely and cooked at a very
moderate heat.

5 POULTRY P0|NTERS$
G.0N~~Nss~0H~>~orsE

The practice of poultry feeding,
while governed largely by circum.
stances, should as far as possible be
confined to the regular routine.
A hen eats approximately three to
four ounces a day, or about six pounds
IL month. The amount fed each day
varies with the appetite Of the bird.
The success of egg production de.
ponds largely upon the activity of the
bird. The reason the Lcghorns excel
in egg production is largely because
they keep themselves liz good physical
condition. They exercise.
1t has been found that a few thor
ough applications of crude petroleum
to the interior of poultry houses will
destroy completely the ommOn red
mite infesting chickens.
The hen that is first off the rOost in
the morning, keeps busy during the
day and is the last to 60 to rOost at
night is the profitable hen.
1t will pay the poultry keeper to
nail up cracks in the back, sides and
root of his henhouse.
Some birds have the disposition to
take exercise. others have to be
forced. THIS is especially true Of the
heavier breeds.
Overlooking causes inactivity, which
will be manifested by no holes being
dug in the straw.
The skill Of the poultry feeder is
tested by the manner in which he com-
pclS the hens to exercise.
Egg production is quite largely de-
pendent upon keeping the birds in con
uition ..-,
1t is not the large turkeys that are
so desirable. but the mediuln-Size ones
that are pretty and smooth.
There is no danger of o~verfecding
providing the birds are compelled to
take sufficient exercise.
The hen that is inactive and shows
long ~toenails is seldom q good pro.
1ucer.

Mrs. Aug. Doellefeld of Carlyle, ILL.,,

Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin in her home
for a number Of years. and would not
be without it, as with it she has been
able to keep her four children in per
feet health.
DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin is a
combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin that acts IN the bowels
in ar easy, natural way, and regu-
lates the action of this most import
ant function. Nearly all the sickness
to which children are subject is
t%raceable to bowel inactiOn, and a
mild, dependable laxative, such as DR..
CaldwclIs Syrup Pepsin should have
a place in every family medicine
chest. 1t is pleasant to the taste and
children like it, and take it readily,
while it is equally effective for
