woman in every state to put the issue directly up to her congressman; there is no other way
 'As to the attitude of the woman s party during the war; Miss Paul said, every individual is free to act as she thinks fit, regarding all matters pertain ing to war; we sponsor only one issue suffrage. Our membership is made up of women who have banded together to se- cure political freedom for women. We are united on no other subject. Some will offer passive resistance to the war. Some are devoted supporters of a vigorous military policy. Between these shade of opinion is represented. Each is loyal to the ideals which she holds for her coun- try. With the character of these various ideals the national womans party has nothing to do, It is concerned only with the effort to obtain for women the op- portunity to give effective expression, through political power to their ideals, whatever they may be-
 What news do you expect from the delegation which is calling on the Presi- dent Monday" I asked.
 One thing I do not expect,'' said Miss Paul, smiling Ifs an answer like the one he gave four years ago when we first brought suffrage to his notice, and that was that he was uninformed on the subject. That's what our picket duty at the White House was instituted for; to keep before the President and before Congress the issue which Senator Wesley l.. Jones recently included as the third clause in the initial steps toward pre- paredness when he said: England and Russia are enfranchising their women in wartime; democracy should begin at home; how long must American women wait for liberty? The three preliminary steps concerning war are the raising of an adequate army; nationwide prohibition, 9 ma Tr,a looks as if picket duty had not been quite in vain, doesn't it?'
 The President has progressed quite a bit" Miss Paul said, again smiling, 'in his attitude toward suffrage for his sec ond step was to say that he believed in it; the third he voted for it in New Jer- sey; fourth, it was embodied in the dem- ocratic platform, and last, but not least, he has said that his party will act on it, and that he is positively for it. So we are waiting impatiently for the result of the delegations visit to him Monday"

 T don't believe in fighting at all you understand" Miss Paul told me, as asked if the picketing at Washington of the White House savored of the Plank hurst methods. I'm a Quakeress-and it is against all the tenets of my religion of my order, to believe in fighting, but this do believe as does Mrs. Pankhurst during all the ages women have thought it brave and right to fight for men; any issues that effected men they were will ing to fight for; but when it comes to women fighting for women-as Mrs. Pankhurst advocated-it is all wrong, ac- cording to public opinion.

Our men are all going to the front; women won t be left at home as they were in the olden times, armed with pistols to defend them slvs; that is out of date; the women of the south with the flower and bloom of young manhood swept away will be left like we women of the north with the plunder of the earth to depend upon; the negroes in the south-immigrant in the north. These, if you please are the men who will have the vote to make our laws for us and by which we, must abide. Our party wants to equip women with the vote so that when the time comes for us to use it we can. We may not want to, but it is like having an um- brella along; you may not have to raise it, but if you want to, you've got it handy.

Submarine More Potent Weapon Than We Imagined, Says Assistant

Baltimore, May 14--A warning that each section of the United States shall feed itself or go hungry was made to- night by Carl s. vrooman, assistant Secretary of Agriculture. He said tha; with cotton at 22 cents pound south ern planters are ploughing land that has already been sown with cotton and putting in foodstuffs.
 "We must awaken" he said. "Thc submarine is much more poten- weapon than we imagined. The allies were losing the war when we entered it and will lose it unless we expend every effort of men, money and ecoh- omy. It is now war of conserva- tion and resources"

'I don't mean" she told me, just for girls and boys to have evening classes in, or dances and theatricals simply be- cause the buildings are empty and should be used. I want the schools to be well organized meeting places for all the men and women of the neighbor- hood for civic study.
 How much does the average person know about city and state government? What do they know of their own rights and privileges? I want them to learn what the government offers, what it denies and how to take advantage of the one and how to get the other.

NO FRIGHT MAN" YET, SAYS
 WHITE HOUSE BACHELOR GIRL
Publication of the Many Reports of Her Engagement Makes Miss Margaret Wilson Angry-'.Its Shame, She Says Presidents Daughter Very fGirly'' Young Woman
 With Very Sincere Ambition to Be Singer
By ZOE BECKLEY

Washington, May 14-(Special.) )-For years I have been picturing Miss Mar garet Wilson, daughter of the President, that my idea of her personality was ac- curate. All that really reused my curi- osity was ohear her sing. So when I heard she was to give a recital at the Church of the Epiphany on a certain evening, 1 trotted brisl1ly round to hear and see.
 Arriving at the very moment was Q big limousine bearing the White House insigna-and I got my shock of surprise. For within sat the Presidents oldest daughter-and what a different young woman from the one of my conjuringi
 q know" she told me later. You thought I was a tall, stiff, angular, hopeless old maid! Everybody does. In my pictures I always look like fathers aunt
 At which we both laughed, for it was so true I couldn't attempt denial. Miss Margaret gives you the keynote of her individuality in that little speech. Get the idea right out of your head that the oldest Wilson girl" is a seriously minded, heavy, owlish lady Of mature aspect who thinks only of study and civic reform.
 In the first place. she is small and slight with blond hair and blue eyes that constantly smile. She has high color and very white teeth, to which a short upper lip gives prominence. Her hands and feet are of southern smallness and her manner is vicacious and unaf- fected to a delightful degree.
 ADVOCATE OF CIVIC CENTER
 In the second place, she is a fun loving girl, whose excellent brain power gives her a most desirable balance between life of butterfly gayety and one of serious musical study. She has two so- Der strains-her determination to make her mark as singer, and her ambition to whip forward her hobby the devel- opment of public schools into civic cen ters for political and social education.
 This may sound ominously high brow, but it is not. being from Margaret Will sons standpoint merely utilization of school buildings as educational neighbor- hood clubs.

LEARN POLITICS FROM FATHER

For my part, think we can learn | much from the socialists; but the point is that any civic movement will fall un- der control of party machinery if not 1 watched and tended with eternal vigi- | lance
 | Didn't republicans have everything their own way till the democrats wrested control? Contention for power teaches the people. If they would enforce by legal enactment from local school boards the running expenses of these civic cen- ters, their maintenance would be as sured, no matter what faction or political machine tried to control them. T believe the civic center plan is the only way to teach the mass of the people the principles of democratic government, and show them their own power'' I asked Miss Margaret how she learned to think about 'civcs and things, and
 she laughed. f'Oh, I couldn't live with father and not learn a little about politics. We never speak of state mat ters to him, but we discuss simple gen. eralties-principles, you know!" This is all the Serious stuff we talked
 The rest was about singing and-er-mar- rying and a few other little odd trifles. To go back a minute to the occasion which made possible my meeting the Presidents daughter.

The great interest is shown by the increas- ing crowds at each service, notwith- standing the many things to keep people away. The great Spirit of God is moving upon the people of the town and they are flocking to the house of God to hear the pure gospel, and to get their spiritual strength renewed.

He isn't handsome-far from that As manly beauty goes; lie doesn't sport the latest hat Or up to datest clothes And yet he is more popular Than all the blooming roost; And everybody likes him, for His middle name is Boost. He doesn't wear the latest styles Or know the latest fad, But he just smiles and smiles Wien things are going bad, He talks lot when rain clouds pour, Of crops they have produced; sees their silver lining, for s middle name is Boost.
