Flags That Float
For Woman Suffrage

War Brings Woman's Freedom
Nearer.
Flags of % nations waved before
the Senate of the United States on
April goth, as a visible reminder that
all these nations have given full or
partial suffrage to the women of their
countries by parliamentary procedure,
The countries are: Great Britain, In.
Guiding England, Ireland, Scotland
Wales, Canada, Australia, New Zeal
and, India, Honduras, South Africa;
Scandinavia, including Norway, Swe'
den, Denmark, Finland, Iceland;
France; Russia; Netherlands, Mexico;
Porto Rico; Hawaii; Burmah.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait appeared
at the Senate hearing, in behalf OF
the Federal Suffrage Amendment
fanked by these % flags, as a con
crete illustration of the fact that in
no country except the United States
are women forced to seek political
freedom by referendum to a general
electorate.
Since January 1, 1917, the franchise
has been conferred upon the women
of Ontario, Canada, by act Of the pro.
vincial legislature.
Municipal Suffrage for French and
italian Women.
After eleven years of waiting
French women have this year seen
their municipal suffrage bill f%avorably
voted on by the Universal Suffrage
Committee of the Chamber of Depu-
ties. This bill when passed, will give
French women municipal franchise
and municipal eligibility. It's reporter,
Pierre Etienne Flandin, deputy from
the Yonne, believes that its chances
Of passage are good and that, once
passed, the vote for national repre-
sentatives will soon be added.
On May 9Th, Premier Boselli of
Italy had this to say about the bill
for woman suffrage presented by
Deputy Muratelli to the Italian Parlia-
ment: CAS- far as the vote for mu-
nicipal elections 10 concerned / do
not think there can be either doubt
or delay in giving it on the same
conditions as it is given to men,"

BARLEY NOT A HUMAN FOOD

For many centuries barley, the
"corn'' of holy writ, was used as a
bread cereal, but it has practically
gone out of use, except that Norway
and Sweden use 1t in their peculiar
bread disks, which are about the size
and shape of a photograph record.
Barley in itself does not make a
q good bread flour and could be uti-
lized only by mixing it with wheat,
something which the American miller
considers dissertation of his shrine. 1t
has a peculiar flavor and is just as diff.
ferent from wheat bread, as either
corn or rye.
merits. AS the kernels are too hard for
some animals to relish, it may be
crushed by passing it between rollers.
If finely ground, the gluten makes
a sticky mass as oon as it is wet,
and this peculiar property makes it
difficult to make it into good bread. It's
main use in the American kitchen has
been to use it as pearled barley in
SOUPS. It is used some in breakfast
food. through a mailing process, but
unless we as American people are on

to find out the protein content of any

now on the market, and it is merely a
matter of the farmer figuring out the
worth of the foods on their nourishing

MIDDLETOWN HIGH MAY
NOT RUN IN RELAYS

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL.
MIDDLETOWN, Del, May L.
From present indications rival track
teams will have very little TO fear
from the team representing the Mid
dletown High School, when the inter
scholastic meet takes place at Della
ware College on May -. Discomfort
and quarrels have sprung up among
the men wearing the Blue and White,
and in all probability no track team
whatever will be sent 10 Joe Frazer
Field. The cause OF the quarrels or
the discomfort is not known, but II IS
certain that unless things are patched
I'D within a very short time, the local
team will be on the field only as Wit
nesses and not as participants.
Tn until a week ago. when all at the
High School were in the best OF spirits
things seemed TO be breaking right
for the Blue and White In practice
the team looked like world-beaters and
hid fair to make all opponents hustle
TO be any place near them when the
finish was reached Several OF the
records made last season at Joe
Frazer Field we're either equaled or
broken, and it looked as though Mid
dletown would carry off high honors.
Then discomfort crept in, and the local
boys are now almost hopelessly out OF
IT,
Several OF the best men have said
that they would not run under any
circumstances whatever, and they
have been followed by all except two
OF the team. Only Elmer Vinyard and
"NIonk" Mcdowell now remain, and
although they may capture their
events as they expect, the. local team
will have no chance OF winning.
Vineyard will enter the quarter and
the mile. while Mcdowell will enter
the 1OO-yard dash, the 220-yard dash
and the quarter. AS these two mer
have already beaten the record in
these four events, they will, no doubt
be among the leaders at the very
nsh.
Other men who we're TO have run
but who will in all probability stay
home are: Claude Fouracre, Franz
Jones. the captain; Shelley Meyers
William Meyers. Allen Johnson, Jeh
Poole and Sam Berkman. Berkman Is
sick in bed at present and has beer
forbidden to leave the house for two
weeks, so it IS out Of the question tC
expect him TO run.
