Jaspar Hume knew this, and said:

There was a pause.

SELLS NEW COLUMBIA SIX
6arry-EineoIn Motor Company Ae
qulres Agency for Line.

The Barry-Lincoln Motor Company,
Fourteenth and N streets. has taken
the agency for the new Columbia Six,
one of the latest products of Detroit's
busy industry.
The Columbia Is unusually well
finished for a car in the thousand
dollar class. 1t Is a car of refine
ments.
1t was the original intention of the
factory to begin production in 1916,
but the conservatives won their point
and for the last three months of last
year engineers spent much time per-
fecting minor details.

ever type, and the wheelbase is 115
inches. For starting and lighting, the
Ward-Leonard two-unit system is en-
ployed.
The new type Stromberg carbure-
tor is used. 1t is Stromberg's 1917
development, specially constructed
because of the heavy nature of the
gasolene now available to the motor
list.
The line is unusual in that 1t em-

very large. In some States a three
fifths vote is required in the legisla-
ture, and in almost all three-fourths,
before an amendment can be submit
ted. In many States we are able to
secure a majority for submission in
the legislature, but not the two-thirds
that is required. For thirty years we
labored in Montana before we were
able to get the necessary two-thirds
of the legislature. although we fire.
quently had a majority.
at often happens that after the
legislature has acted favorably, the
governor objects. In North Dakota
the bill was lost because the governor
refused to sign 1t.
Provision for Lapses.
"In nine States after submission,
the majority of the votes cast at the
election is required, and this works
a hardship. After an amendment Is
submitted once to the legislature, and
fails, many of the States require
certain number of years to elapse be-
fore it can be submitted again.
Illinois requires four years; New Jer-
sey, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania re-
quire five. In that tir- the fighting
organization dies. and the educational
work has to be done over again.
"In several of the States the suf-
fTagists believe that after winning
they have been counted out. In
North Dakota, Michigan, and oregon
the women believe they were wrong
fully counted out and deprived of the
results of victory they had won.
These facts with respect to the
constitutions OF the States emphasize
the almost insuperable difficulties
Of obtaining nationwide suffrage
through State action, and the impor-
tance of a Federal amendment"
Mrs. Catt Protests.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, speaking
of efficiency OF women as a wartime
asset, pointed to the crippling of ef-
fcieney by political Acknowledgement.
Today, she said. women. the great
est force of the nation for the crea-
tion of public sentiment, are asked to
mobilize their forces for aid OF the
Government that has wronged them.
Senators Shafroth, Thomas. Walsh,
Pittman, johnson of California, Smoot.
Chamberlain, and Kendrick spoke
briefly for suffrage.
The twenty-five flags which waved
for suffrage were those of great
Britain. including England, Ireland,
Scotland, and Wales, Canada, Aus
tralia, New Zealand, India, Honduras,
South Africa; Norway. Sweden, Den
mark, Finland, Iceland, France, Rus
sia, the Netherlands, Mexico, Porto
Rico, Hawaii, and Burmah. In each
of these full or partial suffrage has
been granted women.

Rankin on Consultations.
Miss Rankin. in her speech, which
was brief, occupying less than ten
minutes, dweIt on the difficulties of
changing State constitutions. She
said:
81 desire to present to the com.
mittee some of the facts with refer
| ence to the State constitutions, show.
ing the difficulties of amending them.
Take New Mexico, for instance. The
| women of New Mexico can never be
enfranchised except by Federal
amendment. because they must have
three-fourths majority in each
house of the legislature in order to
submit a, State amendment When IL
is submitted they have to get a three
fourths majority of all the votes cast
at the election and a two-thirds ma
jority in each county.
1T is practically impossible for
them to secure an amendment to the
Constitution in the face of such pro-
visions.
New Hampshire provides that no
constitutional change can be made
except by a constitutional convention.
The State provides for such a conven-
tioR only once every seven years.
Maryland Represented.
Maryland sent delegations from two
counties-Anne arundel. and Prince
Georges. With Mrs. Robert Moss,
chairman of the membership commit
tee Of the Woman Suffrage League
of Maryland: Mrs. John Strange,
Thomas Linthicum, Miss Margaret
Martin, and Mrs. Edward Johnson
came from Annapolis to attend the
hearing.
Mrs Jessie L Lane, president OF the
Woman's Single Tax Association OF
the District, headed the representa-
tion from Prince Georges county.
Mrs. L. E. Whiting, of Hyattsyille,
and Mrs. Charles z. Rowe, OF River
dale, were. in the party.
Methods are Varied.
ELEVEN States make no provision
for constitutional convention, so
the constitutions must be amended by
the legislatures. In four States there
can be only a limited number of
amendments submitted to the people
at one time. In Illinois only one can
be submitted at time. In Kentucky
two can be submitted, and in Arkan-
sas three. The legislature in Arkansas
passed a resolution to submit a suf-
frage amedment, but later decided to
bring three others before the people,
and so suffrage was thrown out.
I'm fourteen States il requires pas
sage by two successive legislatures to
secure submission. In Mississippi
and South Carolina ii is necessary
that a proposed amendment pass the
legislature and be submitted to the
people, and then go back to the leg
islature, and be passed again.
''In many States the majorities re-
quired to ratify an amendment are

Explains Method.
Secretary Houston explains how the
office Of Farm Management plans plac-
ing a competent man IN each State to
keep in touch with the States central
board Of food production and conserva-
ton to assist It in devising the best
means Of furnishing relief to communi-
ties that need additional labor.
Increased production of staple crops.
particularly In those regions where they
are usually grown. must be brought
about, the Secretary continues.
There is time yet to increase the
acreage, not only of corn. oats. barley,
rice, and the sorghums, but also g.
spring wheat" he says.
. To stimulate production, Secretary
Houston suggests:
How to Stimulate II.
Enlarge the cooperative demonstra-
tion forces of the department and
the States to insure the most effective
instruction with reference to crop and
animal production; enlarge the exist
ing force of experts in home eco
Monies; enlarge the departments
forces and facilities for aiding farm
ers to combat destructive insects and
diseases of plants and animals.
Mr.. Houston says that it is esti-
mated that the flour supply, on the
basis of q normal crop, could be in
creased by 100000 barrels a year
through the milling of wheat so as
to make 81 per cent OF the kernel into
flour, instead OF T3 per cent, as at
present
Secretary Houston says that some
think like s145,0o0.0o0 worth of grains
are used in the United States annually

this.
