Votes FOR WOMEN
CEiANCES UNCERTAIN
Legislative Experts Believe
Amendment May Lack
Two-thirds Majority
WEBB REMAINS
HOSTILE TO ACT

WASHINGTON, Dec. l-The passage
Of the woman suffrage amendment con-
fdently hoped for during the coming
session OF Congress is regarded by
legislative experts as a toss UP. II re-
quires the approval Of two-thlrds Of
the Senate and House. A majority
could be obtained without much dlfll-
Guilty. The required two-thilds may
be lacking by a few votes in the
House.
Advocates Of the principle Of woman
suffrage are beginning to indicate
clearly that they do not intend TO vote
for any suffrage measure which may
be brought before Congress. Many
Democrats regarded as friendly toward
the principle Will stick by the attitude
taken by the Democratic National Con-
vention at St. Louis. This was writ
ten into the platform and the conven-
ton approved the plank that while
the Democratic party favored the
"inciple Of suffrage FOR women it was
g3rded as an issue for the states
hmselves to settle. This attitude
rs been maintained consistently by
the President, and many Of his political
faith in Congress will shape their
course after that taken by their leader.
Another obstacle In the path Of the
adoption Of the proposed amendment
TO the Constitution is the opposition to
woman suffrage by Representative
Webb, Of North Carolina. chairman Of
the judiciary Committee. He has pre-
vented the proposed amendment from
getting out OF his committee in the
past and he may be able to do SO in the
coming session. A large percentage Of
Representatives would not be sorry 10
have this happen. as they are in
quandary as to whether 10 vote for the
proposed amendment II it is actually
brought before Congress. They are not
certain Of the feeling In their districts
and an embarrassing predicament
would be averted II Mr.. Webb takes
on his own shoulders the responsibility
~ keeping the measure from a vote.
Suffrage advocates well aware Of the
stand taken by Mr.. Webb were iubilant
when the House late last session estab-
lished a suffrage committee This COM
mittee has not been named but when
II is named It, can do little to help the
cause Of the woman suffragists. The
legislative action sll Of them desire is
the so-called Susan B. Anthony amend
ment 10 the Constitution. Such
measure must so 10 the Judiciary Com

Serpent Year
For Japan
Is II

TOXIC, Jan. 26.-The year 1917 in
ancient Japanese tradition is known as
the year of the Serpent, believed by
the same tradition to be associated
with good luck and fortune. The out
going year, known as the year of the
Dragon, fulfilled its traditional expec-
tation that 1t would be accompanied by
progressiveness and development for
the Empire of Japan.
Among Japanese the serpent is al
ways regarded as the emblem of good
fortune and on that account is revered
instead of being killed by the great
masses of the people. The popular
japanese word mi" meaning serpent
also signifies fruitful" because its
pronunciation corresponds to the
sound of the Japanese word for fruit.
Thus the year of the Serpent is fruit
full, rich and prosperous.
The goddess Benten, one of the seven
popular gods and goddesses of fortune,
Is additionally believed to be the pat
ron Of the Serpent and at every shrine
dedicated to the popular goddess of
fortune are kept number of the rep
tiles sacred to the deity. They are
treated with reverence and something
of awe as the messengers of the god
dess. No farmer will destroy SCRIP
ent, but will rather keep 1t and feed it,
Many stories are told of families hav-
ing amassed wealth through having
kept and fed the creatures in their
household as a treasure or sacred
thing.
The last year Of the Serpent fell in
1905 when the Japanese army scored
great victory over the Russians in the
memorable Manchurian campaign. AL
so the country witnessed a prosperous
and happy year with unprecedented ac-
tivity and prosperity in commercial
and industrial circles consequent upon
the conclusion of peace with Russia.
