 CITY HALL WORKERS
$. H. Holnnss Signs Petit1on--City Clerk Neutral and Mayor
 Qugley Undecided.

City Hall is getting to be 3. hot bed of woman suffrage" At least a. majority of the male employees and officers there are not opposed to sui frage, especially when it is put up to them by some pleasant and attrac~ tive young women. Yesterday dele gation of suffragsts who are securing a large petition to send to Senator George P. Mclean visited the city building to solicit names and one or the first persons they encountered was Stanley IT. Holmes, superintend- cnt of schools.
 Superintendent Holmes is evident ly a believer in the right of women to vote for he cheerfully signed the uetition.
 Patrick J. Egan, clerk of the water board, also responded to the appeal of the fair women apd signed their petition, adding that lie is personal acquaintance of Senator Mclean.
 ''Is that so. well, I'll tell MT. Me- Lean about you," said the solicitor.
 Stephen Robb, secretary of the second exemption board, also signed the petition as did his head clerk, James Cochrane. Tax Collector Bernadotte Loomis and Assessor Au- gust Burkhardt also fell in line.
 The most serious stumbling blocks in the paths of the fair visitors proved to be City Clerk Alfred L. Thompson and Mayor George A. Quigley. City Clerk Thompson refused to sign the petition, but assured the young wom- en he was not opposed to their stand although he insited that he was neu- tral. Mayor Quigley explained that he was not prepared at this time to take any definite stand on the matter
 And last but not least. Charlie Hig- by, night operator of the City hall elevator, succumbed and added his name to the list

plates closing up all corset factor
les. Like good sports, all Of us smile
at any personal inconvenience. When
passenger rates got to 3 cents we
stayed at home. When they needed
the coal we shut up all the house but
two rooms and called it joke We've
eaten 10 million bushels of corn meal
more or less-and still smile. We've
forgotten the taste of white bread
and laugh about it. We make cake
out of brown flour and corn syrup
and swear it is better than any pre-
war article ever concocted. There is
not thing that Uncle Sam has or
dered as war measure that we have
not done cheerfully. But corsets!
There's the rub--of most enormous
moment. To take from woman her

be real heroine, but she has to have
good corsets to support her. She can
stand the steel in her soul if she has
