Addressing u meeting tonight in con-

Andrew Bonar Law. Chancellor OF the

United States Senate:
The end of war is peace. The Ger
mans made us what they have called

allied governments the reply which It
descrved-thc only possible reply.

sumo, read the speech by President
Wilson. which appeared in yesterdays

that tho essence of this conflict is "a
question which is as old as time-thc

yond a doubt bring them the vote in every section of the union except, per- haps, in the south where suffrage is complicated by the negro question. In a very short time. And even in the south the firm insistence that has characterized the suffrage campaigns
 in California and other states will
 ultimately place them In possession
 of the much coveted right to cast
 their ballots beside their fathers,
 brothers and husbands.
 But, in the meantime, they. must
 abide their time for to force suffrage lpon the southern states against the will of their citizens would be obvious
 ly an act that no reasoning could
 ,ondone. In fact it would be nothing
 less than criminal for the national congress to pass a suffrage law that did not have the sanction of the people of the south.
 The firm insistence of President Wilson that the question of suffrage IS one to be decided by the states themselves is undoubtedly the only logical one and has the full endorse ment of all who have devoted their attention to the suffrage question. And the wild and wooly women ol Washington may speedily make IT l their minds that they will not succeed in bulldozing the president into chang | ing his attitude by means of such demonstrations as have occurred in the | capital in the past few days.

 It concerned a Yorkshire colier's wife who each Saturday made a prac- tice of calling at the pit where her husband worked with view to getting him safely home. and by persuasion and tact, preventing him getting toe much of drink en route.

 He was the son of lawyer and was educated for, that profession. In 17S0 he enlisted in the royal marines, and subsequently, took part and achieved historic distinction in the French rev olution. He worked his way up until he became one of Napoleon's mar shals, and he ended by being not only the ruler but the popular sov- ereign of Sweden, whose language he really never mastered. With extreme intelligence and in this initiating Ma poleon himself, he surrounded him. self with a kind of royal medieval at mosphere.

How to wash woOlens so they
will not shrink

Wooden fabrics differ wholly from any ether fabric
In WOOL the surface of each fiber is made up of scales
overlapping like tiny fish scales.
Ordinarily, when wet these fibers expand, but the
moment alkali in water comes in contact with wool
fiber these little scales nerock, the fiber draws up
and the fabric has matted and shrunk.
The sensitiveness of wool fiber to alka and to rub
bing are the causes of shrinkage

you handle woolens, lies the secret of safety of COM

Why silks turn yellow

Authorities on silk say that the action of 1lkaE on
silk makes it acquire yellow color which cannot be
washed out Also that when alkai is combined with

The Washington times., 1917-03-15
One important reason why you want your soap for
fine laundering in flake form

This is due to the fact that in flake form, Lux
can be kept pure concentrated soap; in this form,
there is no need for any air, any moisture; or
any kind of 'tfiller," which has no cleansing
value. There is absolutely nothing but pure soap
in each transparent flake. Lux can't injure
anything that pure water alone won't injure.
These flakes melt the moment you throw
them into hot water They are so completely
soluble that not the slightest trace of soap is left
in the garment to yellow it.

1t is the modern form of soap no shaving
or chipping required. 1t makes an instant
lather which dissolves dirt Without rubbing.
In fine laundering soap should never be rubbed
