TALKING about practi-
4 cal gifts-it is a surpris-
ing and interesting fact that
so per cent of the half hose

because the silk hose give

that they are so popular. AS
gifts they will please father,
brother, uncle and nephew.
Half hose prices are as fol-
lows:
Black, white or colored silk, 6Oc,

AUSTRALIA ASKED - ID MODIFY LAWS < ADMITTING INDIANS
It Is Held Educated People From This English Do main Should Be Given
 Better Treatment

Sydney, Australia August So-(Cor- Modification of Australias immigration policy toward India was suggested by Sir Henry Richards chief justice of the northwestern provinces of India, prior to his departure for his post after va cation tour of the antipodes. Before ar irving in the commonwealth. Sir Henry visited New Zealand, and he discussed the exclusion by this country and New Zealand of ruling and educated natives of India.
 From the standpoint of national dig
 nity,' he said, the immigration regu-
 lations are regarded as an insult to In-
 dians. Without for one moment ques-
 tioning the right of Australia to manage suggesting that the regulations should be made as little hurtful to India as it is possible to make them.
 Some of the causes of the present i'll feeling I am confident could be re- moved without waiting for demands for consideration on the part of India after the war"
 Sir Henry said India was whole heartedly supporting the British and all iiSu coiiuuSt VI tHc War, IldHil eStlnS tnlS through recruiting, gifts and loans. More than once since I started on my holiday have heard India described as a seething mass of disaffection," he added Well, in my opinion, there is more human happiness among the 300- l 000000 people in British India than in any other part of the world. This con- dition of things in India is due entirely to the excellence and the justice of the British rule. Accept my assurances that ! there is no element of disloyalty worth speaking about in India'

loyal suffragists more, perhaps than anyone else, since they deprive them of hard earned victory. Our country, however is at war and no part oI the people are more active in war work than the suffragists of America. To stop the war service to fight the pickets, because they are disloyaI and nagging, might in the eyes of a few be good politics, but it would not be good patriotism and suffragists care tremendously about the country.
 They do not cease to work for it's good by urging suffrage in every dig nified way; nay, this war is an added plea for equal rights and justice, and has so proved among our allies.
 If the men voters of the country would take the trouble to discriminate between the womans party, consist ing of hardly more than 100 misguided women who are hindering the officials of the country by their disloyal ac tivities, and the National Womans Suffrage association, composed of over 100000 now engaged in patriotic service to the nation. there would not be a repetition of the Maine blunder
 MAKE DEMOCRACY SAFE FOR
 WOMAN.
 No matter what we may think about state rights and the policy of permitting each state to take it's own time about granting suffrage to woman, we should re- fleet that changed conditions require a revision in our statesmanship as well as in other things If Congress would enact what is known as the Susan B. Anthony amendment the money which now goes to support the woman suffrage propaganda, and the time and energy ex- pended by the good ladies would be coii- served and turned over to the support an sustenance of the government A further propaganda and the further spending of vast sums of money and energy may be considered useless waste. and this is TO time to waste money or energy.

Nesbitt vice president, Mrs. T. H. Spencer treasurer Mrs. J.. M Myatt secretary, declined to stand for reelection, owing to the increase in her work as secretary of headquar- ters, and Mrs. w. A.

 When Mrs Jackson returns from New York plans will be made for the work the Central union will do during the coming autumn and winter.
 The many friends of Miss Byrd Clarke, president of the Stevens union. will be pleased to know that she is fast regain- ing her former health. With Miss Clarkes restoration to health and Mrs. Maloney's return from New York the Stevens will take on new life, and strive to eclipse all former records in work for the good of the temperance cause
 Mrs. Harry Bumstead entertained the Francis Willard union at her home Sat urday afternoon.

 SUFFRAGISTS AND THE TICKETS
 The entire country attributes the dc feat of suffrage In Maine to the pick- eting of few fanatic women III Washington, and is calmly satisfied to let the action of hundred women keen back the just rights of half or the population. Because the Washing ton picketers offend the taste of the people the voters not only fail 10 give justice to the women ot the country but fail to utilize the thinking power of the women of the country Tn political matters. Far from oeins ashamed of that failure they glory Tn 1t and say to the women. partlcular- ly to the 100000 suffrage workers in the national association. See what the picketers have deprived you of Why don't you stop them?" The New York World says:
 Last fall public sentiment in the United States had practically crystal lized in favor of suffrage, but the White House pickets, by their flag rant disloyalty, succeeded in decrys- tallizng it. and the leaders of the suffrage movement adopted only half way measures to disassociate them selves from the wild women who were nagging the President. The situation called for something more convincing than perfunctory expressions Of con ventional disapproval, yet nothing more convincing was offered"
 If the male voters of America vote against suffrage because of the ac- tions of few misguided women, why should they not vote equally against anti-suffrage, because of the activ- ites of one of the chief anti leaders, Mrs Hale in pacifist riot in Con necticut?
 But the National womans Suffrage association refuses to be used as a catspaw. The picketers offend the
