. TOW that the women have the vote
~ in New York State will they
- Use it?

This seems to be the question in the
mind of many persons, as a result of the
recent elections.
On August 27, the result Of a suffrage
house-to-house canvass was announced,
which established the fact that iive-sev-
enths, or 500,992, women in New York
City favored woman suffrage. 1t was
then claimed that this disproved the ar
gument of the "anti" that the women do
not want to vote. But still the average
mind is doubtful, and full confidence was
not placed upon that report.
Those who are on the fence, or who do
not believe that Women will vote, can be
answered by the records Of the eleven
states having full suffrage, and by the
four-year record in Illinois. In a No
vember issue Of "The Woman Citizen" a
partial summary Of the woman's proper
tional vote in the different states is given.
In Arizona, the total, when men alone
voted, was 23,9s7, while in 1916, when the
women voted, the total was 5S,02l. In

that profteering, although not Of the
kind Herbert c. Hoover and other
patriotic economists have raised hue and
cry about, may prove the more vicious be-
cause Of disguise.
With the assistance of District Attor-
ney Swami, the late Army and Navy
Bazaar has been made the goat" from
whose golden fleece" the nation has re-
ceived the inspiration to sit up and take
notice.
This bazaar was primarily staged for
the purpose of raising money for comfort
kits for the soldiers and sailors of the
United States. From the standpoint Of
the promoters it was tuneful success Of
more than $4,000, but for the soldiers
and sailors it was a jangle Of S754.96.
The balance. il developed under the Dis
trict Attorneys investigation, went to pay
expenses.
In answer to requests from Judge
Swami there appeared in the Criminal
Courts Building Edward S. Moore, secre-
tary Of the Guaranty Trust Company and
the treasurer of the Army and Navy
Bazaar; Waldemar II. f. n. de Billie, man
aging director Of the same; Irving c. Fox,
C. D. Fox, a lawyer, in whose office the
project was conceived, and c. II. De Mon
tcmar, secretary of the Army and Navy
Field Comforts Committee.
The District Attorney likewise learned
that one George F. Sweeney, an advertis-
ing agent, who had handled the pro-
grammes on a $3.50 commission basis,
and who collected $45, 900 in this manner,
had received as his share a sum Of S22,-
600, and that he had also collected COM
mission from $4,000 which had been do
rated by interested persons as free gift
to the Army and Navy Field Comforts
Committee.
In the presence Of Mr.. Moore, the
prosecutor obtained an admission from
Sweeney that his solicitors got most of
their advertising by saying they had been
sent by Edward S. Moore for a contribu-
tion. Others, it developed, openly used
Mr.. Moore's name over the telephone.
Irving C. Fox declared he was in no
way connected with the bazaar, he hav-
ing merely allowed his cousin, c. D. Fox,
one of the promoters, desk room in his
office
C. D. Fox pleaded not guilty the other
day to a charge of forgery in the third
degree before Judge Mott in General Ses-
sions.
Waldemar H. F. N. de Billie merely dis
missed the subject by declaring he could
account for the expenses, and added that
"he was not in business for his health"
Another complaint which Mr.. Swami
has taken up was that Of several persons
who claimed to be the holders Of the
lucky numbers in a rafle for lot. The
Sterling Homes Company donated this
lot, but when the holders of the lucky
numbers presented their claims they were
informed that it would be necessary to
pay $50 in back taxes in order to get
their prize free and clear.

Be PRETTY! TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
Look young! Nobody can
tell if you use Grand
mothers simple recipe of
Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and lustre
to the hair when faded, streaked or
gray. Years ago the only way to get this
mixture was to make it at home, which
is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays, by
asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will
get large bottle of this famous old
recipe, improved by the addition of other
ingredients, for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it, No one
can possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as it does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is a delightful toilet requisite for those
who desire dark hair and youthful ap-
pearance It is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease.

That an historical meeting would
be held on the afternoon of Tuesday,
March 23rd, by the United Daughters
of the Confederacy, was an important
decision reached at the monthly meet
ing held at the bivouac yesterday aft
ernoon.
The president, Mrs. r. F. Mitchell,
appointed Miss Margarita Moreno,
historian of the local chapter, as
chairman of the program commit
tee for the meeting, which will take
place at the home of Mrs Mitchell, on
North Twelfth avenue, at 4 o'clock
in the afternoon. At a meeting of
the U. D. c. held some months ago it
was voted that the Pensacola chap
ter undertake the marking of historic
spots about the city, but owing to
the fact that the chaper has not
been financially able to so, no def
mite steps have been taken along this
line. The historical meeting will be
a first step towards historical work
of the local chapter, and it is proba-
| BILE that other meetings of the kind
will be held during the year, and that
the action taken by the chapter will
be furthered.
The object of the meeting, how
ever, is directly concerned with the
historical side of the U. D. c. work
and it is intended to make the meet

LOVING A CROUCH AWAY.

LOVING A CROUCH AWAY.
There's a look on the face you can
love away,
There's crease in the brow you can
smooth today;
There's a CLEAN in the eye you can
change to one
That is sweet as the ray of the morn
ing sun
It's the touch of our loving, the
sweet of our will,
That scatter the shadows of anger
and i'll.
There's a crouch that you think will
be always the same,
So grim and so dark; but it goes as
it came
When you love it away with a tender
ness born
Of the spirit of brightness and glad
ness and morn
There isn't crouch ever lived very
long
Meath the spell of a love that is
sweetened with song.
You can love it away, love the ache
and the care,
Love the heart that is heavy with
grief and despair,
Till it lifts to the sunshine, as flowers
in the spring,
And responds every time to the song
that you sing
Forgetting it's wrinkles and creases
and frown
At the touch of loves fingers like
velvet of down.

At the monthly meeting of the Y.

morning, among other matters of
business decided upon, was the reno

building.
The rest room has been open now
for nearly a year and has gradually
grown from a venture to what seems
to be a certainty of success. While
cosy and charming in many ways,
there are a number of additional COM
forts which are needed, and it was
decided at the meeting yesterday
morning to make some renovations
which are necessary to add to the
comfor for the summer months.
