Gunnison news-champion., 1918-10-04

President Wilson, who is 4 strong
friend Of the measure, made q per-
sonal address before the senate before
the vote was taken. He pointed out
in no uncertain words that the meas
ure was not, as they seemed to think
q war measure, but the rights of
American womanhood. In part he
said:
1--WE have made partners of the wo-
men in this war-shall we admit them
only to the partnership of suffering,
sacrifice, and toll, and not the partn-
ership of privilege and right? This
war could not have been fought, eth
er by other nations, or the Americans,
if it had not been for the services of
women--services rendered in every
sphere"
1t may be some consolation to know
that the measure will be brought up
again, at which time it is planned to
battle for its passage harder than ev-
ci, and we shall win.

A Visit to Our Local Millinery Stores

The crowd of women on Main street
last Friday afternoon did not mean,
as stranger would think, move
on the part of the gentler sex toward
peace-at-any-price, no stree. Neither
was it mobilization of women pre-
pairing to answer the call for women
to take the place of men IN the world
of labor-nope, nothing doing-it was
merely the annual fall hunt for HAT
the season having opened-so t.
speak-on Friday, the 9th. Mrs. A.
J. Gribbin, as advertised last week, in
News-Champion, had her fall opening
in the millinery line and certainly the
display of lovely hats was well worth
the time expended visiting the store.
GunnisOn women do not believe, that
just because the world is torn wide
open with war, murder and other cat
astrophies, they need wear any old
thing or forget their good appearance.
To be sure, with the Fourth Liberty
Loan coming up over the horizon, and
other important things demanding
money all the time, the amounts now
being spent on personal adornment is
comparatively small. However, our
business houses invest in Liberty
Bonds as well as we do, SO it is but
helping n patriotic cause when we
patronize our home stores.
Our local millinery stores are a
most interesting place to visit these
days. The array of fine millinery, as
well as coats, suits, dresses, waists
and dainty novelties in wearing ap-
parel make it possible for every size
of pocketbook and every style OF face
and figure to be satisfied. Both the
Gribbin Millinery Company and The
Leading Millinery Store, on the same
street have in a complete stock of the
above mentioned articles.
At either store will be found hats
in plenty for either maid or matron, in
all the latest colors and materials.

FOR WOMAN'S
SUFFRAGE IS DEFEATED

The longest and hardest fought
measure in the history Of American
politics met bitter defeat on Tuesday,
when the measure for National W6-
mans Suffrage came to vote in the
Senate and tailed to receive the nee
essary two-thirds vote by majority
Of SO to 81. At the last minute, Sena.
tor Jones Of New Mexico, who is
chairman Of the woman's suffrage
committee, changed his vote from af-
firmative to negative, and moved that
the senate reconsider the vote. This
action on the part Of Senator Jones
makes it probable that the measure
will be brought up again in November,
following election time.
The failure Of the measure to pass
is a bitter disappointment to the wo-
men Of the United States. We Of the
west, who long have had the privilege
q the vote, had hoped against hope
ceiye, what Is their just right the
right to vote.

CAsT.OFF GARMENTS
HAVE INTERESTING HISTORY

The biggest and best filled depart

building next to the Gunnison Repu5-
Iican Office, which was used by the
Red Cross during al Of last week, as
an !Nold clothes depot" In response
TO the request Of the government for
clothing Of al and any kind for the
destitute Belgians, every home in the
county promptly got busy, and as 4
result, piles upon piles Of cast-oR gar

new clothing Of every size, color and

be unfolded could some Of these cast

pile Of baby clothes, which once Just
little while ago, covered . little body.
They had been preserved by the baby's

EAT MORE VEGETABLES
AND SAVE The MEAT

Every time you eat a meal raised
In your own garden, you have saved
money that will buy war savings
stamps and Liberty Bonds. Also, by
eating more garden truck, you will be
adding to your health. Vegetables,
whether dried, cooked or eaten raw,
aid in stimulating the digestion.
When cooking vegetables, we can
learn much from the French house
wife, who would scorn our method of
boiling vegetables in a large quantity
of water, and then throwing that same
water which contains mineral salts
so necessary to health, down the drain
in the sink The French cook branch
es vegetables by plunging them in
boiling water; then cook them in just
enough liquid for their needs, which
liquid-be it water, broth or milk, as
the case may be-is afterwards utili-
zed in the making of a sauce as q
part of the vegetable course.
We had a number of very good re-
cipes for vegetable dishes, but owing
TO lack of space this week, they will
have to be omitted. However, the
following are an excellent variation
and well worth trying.
