"WHY, DADDY, OF COURSE
THEY OUGHT TO VOTE!"
Or What Made Hon. Henry Clark
of Texas a Suffragist.

The cause of suffrage has no more
ardent supporter than Representative
Henry Clark of Stephenville, Erath
County, Texas. Strongly opposed to
suffrage for women In 1915, now firm
believer, and looked upon as one of the
most loyal supporters of the equal fran
chise cause in the Lone Star State
so runs the record held by Representa-
tive Clark.
His conversion to the suffrage cause
is best told in his own words:
In 1915, l was an anti-suffragist,"
said Representative Clark, Il refused
to be interviewed on the subject of suf-
frage for women. One day, however, a
suftragist. using a little clever strategy,
did manage to interview me on the
question, and our conversation ran
something like this
why are you against suffrage?"
81 searched around in my mind for
a reply and finally said, My mother
did not want to vote. She was perfect
ly content attending to her home duties
Later in our conversation l had oc
casion to say that my mother died
some ten years ago, and my inter
viewer was quick to say, Well, ten
years ago we were not asking for the
vote either. Perhaps II your mother
were living today she, too, would want
to vote, Persons change their minds

then added, and my interviewer re.
piled, Perhaps she has never given the
matter much thought
II sent telegram to q prominent
woman in each of the five largest
towns in my district, requesting her to
interview home women on the ques-
ton of equal suffrage. The answers
were overwhelmingly In favor of suf-
frage and the few that were not, were
merely Indifferent, not anti.

She said she did not wish to bias nv

on her face and 1t made me think some
more. My daughter walked down to
the House with me. On the way |

Mignon Anderson says that so many
girls write to her and ask her to tell
them how to get in the movies and
whether 1t is hard work and whether
it is necessary to have experience that
she has decided to give them the fol-
lowing advice: "In the first place it is
essential that a person be hard and
willing worker and, above all. cheer
full. Experience is necessary in 80 per
cent of the cases, and ability will get
more people in the movies than pull,
for if they come in by the latter route
and cannot deliver the goods they will
soon be weeded out and their career
Will be short lived and fruitless.

For the present, and probably for the
over seas any fireless cookers. safety

toilet water or cold cream.
That sort of thing is pretty we'll pro-
vided for anyway-to the extent that
fighting man can use such luxuries.
Soap. bug powder. razors and most
everything a man needs to keep himself
groomed are provided in the regular
army stores.
Movies. music, baseball and tennis
are provided in the base camps. To-
bacco. cigarettes, candy and jam are
also on sale in the army canteens. but
the war department is willing to take
over any gifts of this sort and distrib-
ute them. They should be sent to the
Depot Quartermaster, u. S. Army, New
York. Prompt delivery is not guarap-
teed
Ship space is too scarce for any other
gifts. Clothing and hospital comforts
are fully provided in the army Red
Cross stores.
Cigarettes are certain to be the most
acceptable gift to the boys in olive drab.;
1t is better to send the ordinary brands
of American cigarettes or smoking to-
bacco. The expensive Turkish and
Egyptian dope sticks are appreciated by
only a few of the troops. The native
American cigarette. which sells here
for cents a package. is the real swell
smoke in England or the continent. All
are called Virginias.
The cigarettes and tobacco sold in
French shops are vile.
Candy sent to the Sammies should be
packed in tin foil or waxed paper. Pres
serves. jam or marmalade should be in
tin cans or tightly sealed with wax If
in glass jars.
