W0MEN'S SUFFRAGE
THRIFT SERVICE
The Ballot and the Preserving
Kettles Lined Up Together.

Falling in line with the offer of war
service made by the National Ameri-
can Woman Suffrage Association to the
President of the United States, various
state suffrage associations have called
their members into practical service.
The first act of the president of the
Nebraska State Suffrage Association,
Mrs. W. E. Barley, was to line up her
members In suffrage thrift clubs.
The state suffrage organization is
awakening its members to the fact
that Nebraska women can put up
their w foodstuffs, and so free the
produce of the canning factories for
expectation or for the army, wherever,
In fact, it will be most needed. Twill
you preserve for future use double
your usual quantity of f~oodstuffs?" is
tie question which has been added to
the enrolment slips of the Nebraska
s~uffragists.
About LOO tons of preserved food
can now, on the present basis, be re
leased, Is the estimate made by thrift
leaders. If each suffragist will double
her supply. 5000 tons may be expected
from Nebraska's suffrage thrift effort.
Iowa Is another state to take up
thrift work. Under the direction of
Ames College, one of the foremost ag-
ricultural colleges in the country, In
structions in canning and preserving
fruits and vegetables will be sent out
to the suffrage societies through the
state. Iowa is to conduct suffrage
thrift cooking schools.
Both Pennsylvania and New Jersey
women are mobilizing their fruit jars

there will be a famine In glass cans

Mime. LAMBERT, TEACHER of MUSIC
Piano, Organ, String Instruments.
PLEASANTVILLE, N. J.


Her method of many years study
and practical experience in every
phase of both vocal and instrumental
music, has proved to be the correct,
thorough and comprehensive system.
There are no doubt, several ways of
teaching, but there is only one true
way for both branches of music, and
the necessary requirements are natural
gifts for one or both. The brain
must comprehend, the fingers demon
strate and memory exercised.
The voice being a truly natural gift,
must possess the volume, quality and
strength for expansion. Great care
must be used in training, as either
extreme may ruin the chords and
muscles forever. A fortune is within
the reach of those to whom nature
has given the high or low expansion,
with the true resonant beauty and
quality. A delightful pleasure to the
listener, or vice versa. When all COM
binations are correct such a voice may
justly be named Musical Elocution."
Special training for young children
in combination on any instrument by
divided time. Talent in all cases must
be we'll tested before an opinion can be
given. Obedience all thro is abso-
lutely required. What is the secret
of advancement in both vocal and in
strumental music? Think and be pre-
pared ahead NEAR business on both
sides.

The rise of suffrage interest In FloI

This year 400 suffragists were in line
In the Palm Beach parade. A year ago
there was no organization there.
The parade was spontaneous. It was
on Flagler Day, and 25,000 people were
present at West Palm Beach. A band

suffragists came to the font and cap

Now that OregOn's minimum wage

Arizona Is one of the twelve states IN
the Union to pass a minimum wage
law for women workers, and the sew

1t is owing to the Hon. Rosa Mckay.
1.-THE lady from Cochise," representing
the Bisbee district In the Arizona lower
houre, that this bill came through the
Arizona legislature, And Rosa Nc
Kay, who has recently won her vic
tory hands down over a hostile legis-
lature for the sake of her toiling Sis
tiers, has proved that "woman's place
is in the House," as we'll as il the
Home.
She fought hard for the bills passage
and was cordially supported by her
colleague, Hon. Theodore Marsh. from
Santa Cruz County.
Mrs. Pauline O'Neill, another Arizona
woman legislator, voted for its final
passage.
1t was sponsored by organized labor
the women clubs of Arizona, and the
Civic League of Phoenix.

ON THE FORMING OF NEW
 PARTIES,
(The Chicago News.) )

American political third parties have been factors of importance in the life of the nation chiefly by in direction, since they have influenced the old established parties and the governments chosen by the latter only from the periphery of affairs. Despite the failure of new parties to establish themselves permanently, with the conspicuous exception of the republican party, the suggestion is off, fered by a group of persons repre- senting various elements in confer ence in Chicago that one more at tempt be made. The idea is to gath CT together. the forces behind the farmers non-partisan movement the remnant of the progressive party, the prohibitionists and the packers, of unf- Versal suffrage, public ownership of railroads and other radical parties.
 On the basis of past experience it is easy to predict that the new party if actually launched. will have only a short existence. Coming so soon aft CT the breaking 4up of the most for midable thirdparty movement in years-the progressive party, once led by Theodore Roosevelt, now returned to the republican fold--many will think that only moderate success at best can be won by the proposed or ganization. However, in theae ex- traordinary times, predictions based on past experience easily may be mis- leading. The world in many re- spects is moving in ways inconsis tent with past tendencies. Unexpect- ed developments may suddenly fur nish the basis for new activities and new alignments.
 The ordinary citizen, in existing circumstances. should endeavor to keep his poise, joining new move ments that appeal to his intelli gence after careful consideration, but avoiding those in which froth and hysteria are the predominating char acteristics

FACTS ABOUT THE AMERICAN NAVY
Smoke Pipes
BY LIEUT.. FITzHUGH GREEN, U. G. N

Some battleships have two some have one. A few have three and four; and the new cruisers will have seven. Stacks. or tunnels as lubbers call them, are long, short. thin and fat. There are good reasons for each number, size and disposition.
 Fuel economy determines the cruising radius of a ship. Give her 5000 tons of coal and she will do 5000 miles at 14 knots. Cut 12 in- ches off her 60 foot smoke pipe and you cut 500 miles off the distance she can go on the same amount of coal. why? Combustion is oxidation; or in the case of coal combination of the black carbon with oxygen. For fur mace oxygen must come from the air sucked in by the draft or pumped in by blowers. As with factory chim- heys, the higher the chimney the stronger the draft, and the greater the e1hcfency of combustion. Thus If the smoke pipe is shortened, less air Is forced out by the hot gases and less Is drawn in. Since 3O0,OOO cubic feet of air are required per ton of coal there Is tremendous loss when draft is low cred.
 This is a great factor in smoke pipe height. A warship's pipes may vary from 20 to 100 feet. Extreme 0 battle ranges of 3oOOO yards require guns to be elevated 15 degrees. If the ship rolls 1 5 degrees further-not a heavy toll-ponters will be able to see the enemy only half of the time All top hamper, cranes. masts tur- rets, bridges, and particularly the massive smoke pipes must keep with in prescribed limits of weight. An Italian steamer capsized a few years ago because she was top heavy.

TESTING THE DENTIST.
Ismail Pasha Didn't Want to Take
 Any Painful Chances.

To illustrate oriental habits of thought Lord Cromer tells in the Quarterly Review this story of Is- mail Pasha, khedive of Egypt. It once happened that Ismail was suffer- ing from toothache. He sent for European dentist, who told him that he ought to have the tooth out. Is- mail said that he was afraid it would be very painful He was informed ir reply that if he would allow the den- tist to administer laughing gas to him he would feel nothing. He still doubted, but told the dentist to bring his apparatus to the palace.
 The dentist compiled and explained the process to the khedive. Ismail then summoned an attendant and told him to send up the sentry who was at his door.
 When the man arrived the khedive ordered him to sit down in a chair tooth on either side of his jaw. Is- mail then asked the man whether he had felt anything, and the man told him that he had not But Ismail was not yet satisfied. He said that the sentry was a young, strong man and that he would like to see the ex- pertinent tried on some one of weak CT physique.
 Accordingly he summonedSa slave girl and had the dentist extract two of her teeth. Finding that she did not show evidence of extreme suffer- ing, he then consented to have his own tooth out.

Turner Had His Way.

The late J. M. W. Turner, one of England's most famous artists, served for some time on the hanging com nittee of the Royal academy, and one day when he strode into the picture rooms he was struck by picture sent in by an unknown provincial artist of the name of Bird. Turner took it into his hands and examined it this way and that "A fine work!" he eX- claimed. Tt must be hung up and exhibited"
 Impossible" responded the other members of the committee. The walls are full, and the arrangeme cannot be disturbed.'
 "A fine work" repeated Turner. "It must be hung up and exhibited And, finding his colleagues to be as obstinate as himself, he hitched down one of his own pictures and hung up Birds in its place.

NAMES LIBERTY DAY.
President Decides on Oct. 24 As Day
 of Big Loan Drive.

Washington. Oct. 16-The American people were asked today by Presi- dent Wilson to subscribe to the sec , ond Liberty Loan and thus strike a mortal blow at autocracy in defense of outraged American rights and the cause of liberty By proclamation the president set Oct. 24 as Liberty Day and expressed the hope that pa triotic meetings would be held throughout the. country.
 The treasury department announced last night that the amount which had been subscribed was estimated at s65O, ,OOO, 900 to $70O,O0O,000, as ad- vices from New York, Cleveland, Chi cago and San Francisco districts alone added $18O,O0O,00O to the $399,654,- 900 actually received and tabulated. Other districts, it was said, probably had collected $1O0,O00,O0O not report ed officially.
 Tn other words," the statement continued, "the latest official figures and most careful estimates of unre- ported sales make it appear that not more than IA per cent. of the max imum quota has been subscribed. If it is to be attained, $35s,000, 0,00O worth of bonds must be sold every day between now and the close of the drive.

FOR A GREATER SUPPLY.

So far as has been ascertained at
 Ats writing the Home Garden plan h this city is successful. The city by
 tppropriating enough money for the
 mltivation of land, with the aid of enthusiastic workers, has been able
 70 realize 8 goodly crop of various
 .oodstuffs. The Council at its meet
 ng tonight wfll be asked to carry on
 he same work next Spring. Unless It can be shown that this is an ab- bolute waste of public funds; unless N can be shown that the money loaned by the city may never be re- surned unless 1t can be eonclusively proven that the whole affair is (saste of good time. we can see no Eeason why the work should not be earried on. Surely, there are enough members in the Common, Council who Are opposed to this plan They may be expected to present their side of ;he case And yet, at this time of the worlds affairs, it would seem that hnything done to promote the raising ,f more vegetables or foodstuffs of any kind is a step in the right di- rection, the object being, of course, to see that the supply is always equal to the demand.

 Oh, now that the world with war is
 rife,
 And sorry place to dwell The Devil is having the time of his
 life To find for the one who ktndled the
 strife
 The hottest place in Hell! He has hauled King Herod out of
 his pit Where the flames burn red and
 blue; He has bidden Caligula pack his kit, And plucked from gleaming, steam ing spit Nero and Claudius too He has flung from the depths of the
 fiery tomb Wherein he was inferred Ezzelino, the man of doom, And shut him up in an icy room Along with Richard Third. He has pulled Lord Jeffreys down
 from his bench In the sizzling, grizzling air: He has tost Duke Ava out of his
 trench, And given vigorous rigorous wrench To the head of RObespierre. Aye, many more of the tiendlsh lot Who worked their murderous will He has harried from blazing grove
 and grot That he may select the choicest spot For the coming of Kaiser Bill: So now that the world with war is
 rife,
 And a sorry place to dwell. The Devil is having the time of his

Shame On Grumblers.
(Mr. Lloyd George in the British
 Teachers Review.)
British

Teachers RevieW.)
 There is no greater example of en- durance than that of our men in the trenches. Our intrepid sailors never seas. Our brave soldiers cheerfully endure every hardship of war in the most comfortless surroundings in the trenches. Our intrepid sailors never hesitate to go on voyages, whatever dangers may be lurking in the unseen deep from mine or submarine.
 It is not the people who endure the greatest hardships and the greatest trials who grumble. Face to face with the most grim realities of life and death they forget minor incon- veniences and smaller restraints, and those of us at home show a small appreciation of that splendid spirit of endurance if we give way to grum- blings and complaints over the smaller things.
 If it is not our lot to be called on cheerfully to make the supreme sacri- fee of the field or on sea- 1t is more than ever incumbent on us to be cheerful amid the small restrictions necessarily imposed upon us by the cir cumstances of the war, but trival and insignificant in comparison with what is endured by those who are fighting.
 Every page of our history is rich with the sacrifice our forefathers made to win for us the freedom we now enjoy. Let us, on our part show ourselves worthy of their great ex- ample, and determined to pass on to our children and our chlldrens children this splendid heritage of freedom, enriched and ennobled y our efforts and endurance.
