Anne Martin, Nevada Can,

Speech to Party Hosts.

THE peace that follows this war
cannot be lasting without being Just
to all nations; it cannot be just with
out being democratic, and it cannot
be democratic without the direct par
ticipation OF women in helping to es-
tabHsh IT.
Thus did Anne Martin. Senatorial
candidate from Nevada, conclude her
speech at the farewell dinner given
in her honor last night by the Ma
tional Woman's party in its new head
quarters on Lafayette square. Three
hundred were present.
If women could have had a hand
in the shipping program" said Miss
Martin, 81 am sure that proper hOus-

was, recent hearings before the Sen

veloped the fact that generous ap-
propriations were made by Congress
for the purpose Of sites, machinery
and dock yards, but because decent
and adequate quarters were not pro-
vided. it was impossible to employ the
amount of labor necessary to produce
the ships.

& BALTIMORE
English Primate Closes Visit
Here by Laying Wreath

After a series of religious and So
cial activities such as have been sell
dom known in Washington, the Most
Rev. Cosmo Gordon Lang, Arch

for Baltimore, thence to Pittsburgh
and from there to Canada.
Accompanied by Earl Reading. the
British Ambassador, and a party, the

to the Father of the United States.
Yesterday morning the Archbishop
spoke at the annual meeting of the
National Cathedral Association. in
Whitby hall, on the cathedral grounds.
He was introduced by Bishop Harding
and on the platform were seated

France; Charles ]. Bell. Rear Admiral
Charles H. Stockton and DR.. William
G. Rives.
The audience was thronged with dis
tinguished members OF the Episcopal
clergy and prominent laymen OF the
church.
The Archbishop said he could fore
see a day when the English speaking
people on both sides Of the ocean
would be united by even closer ties
than any ever contemplated.
At noon yesterday the Archbishop
delivered a fervent prayer at the
opening of the session OF the Senate,
later holding a reception in the rear
OF the chamber at which he was in
troduced to all the Senators by Sen
ator Salisbury. president pro tempore

THE FUTURE


What may we take into the vast forever?
marble door
Admits no fruit of all our long e~ndeavor,
No fame-wreathed crown we wore,
Nor garnered lore.
What can we bear beyond the unknown
portal ?
No gold, no gains
or all our toiling life; in the life immortal
No boarded wealth remains,
Nor gildS, nor stains.
Naked from out that far abyss behind US
We entered here:
No word came with our coming, to remind
us
What wondrous world was near,
No hope, no fear.
Into the silent, starless night before us.
Naked we glide;
No hand has mapped the consultations
DER us,
No comrade at our side,
No chart, no guide.
Yet fearless toward that midnight, black
and hollow,
Our footsteps fare;
The reckoning of a Fathers hand We
follow
His love alone is there,
No curse, no care.

War Has Given Women Chance
To Show What They Can Do in
Various industrial Avenues

After many years spent in demand
ing access to various employments on
the same basis as men, women are now
being offered an unprecedented chance
to show what they can do In industry,
states a writer in New York Journal of
Commerce. Abroad they are the actu-
al operating force of many businesses,
and 1t may be expected that a like con
dition will more and more come TO
prevail in the United States. The
women of Great Britain have made u
splendid record in the industrial world,
and there is no doubt they will like
wise here If the emergency requires.
This state of things is usually present
ed as ar Outgrowth of the war, and
not a few women are quite frankly
holding their present places as a patri-
otic duty rather than as the result Of
a personal desire. Very little study,
however, is required to reach the con-
cluslon that in many cases there will
be tendency and disposition to broad
en- the scope of wOmen's employment
after the end Of the war, and, If de-
sired by the employers, to accept them
as permanent factors in places here
tOfore held exclusively by men.
The final outcome with reference to
the industrial status OF women will,
however, depend primarily upon the
degree Of efficiency they are able to
develop. If there are, as often alleged,
largo and fnprnaSinu nlncSaC Of uynrpnn
who desire permanent industrial OPP
pOrtunity on the same basis with men,
their time to make good" is now at
hand and will probably not soOn come
again. That there are many who real
iZe the situation no one can doubt. 1t
is equally clear, however, that there
are many others who thus far are
showing traits which not only disquali-
fly them from competition with men,
but will render them unacceptable in
any capacity as soon as men are again
available as employees. OF these traits
the most serious probably are the lack
Of professional pride in work, the fail
ure to regard 1t as q permanent Occu-
patton, and as such to be studied and
perfected, and the tendency to lack Of
responsibility.
Time may correct these traits and
develop the women Of the country into
an efficient, well-disciplined body of
industrial workers. 1t will be neces-
sary that they train and educate them
selves for their tasks and recognize
that retention Of tho now nlaca alraodv
assigned them will be dependent en-
tirely on the merit they are able to
show.

Three National Forests
Recently Added to the List
Complying With Weeks Law

The president has proclaimed the es-
adjustment Of three new forests, the
final step In carrying out the purpose
of the Weeks law.
The first, observes a writer In Out
look, is the White Mountain National
forest. Its area Of nearly 100000
acres protects the watersheds of the
Androscoggin, Saco, Connecticut and
Ammonoosuc rivers. This watershed
region has also long been famous as an
important recreation ground.
AS its name implies, the Shenandoah
National forest is on the watershed of
the Shenandoah river, but 1t also pro
tects a portion Of the Potomac and
James river watersheds. It's area Is
about 10000 acres. On this area, and
still intact, are the trench systems
constructed during the Civil war under
Storewail Jackson's supervision.
The White Mountain National forest
lies mostly in New Hampshire, but laps
over into Maine; the Shenandoah for
est lies mostly In Virginia, but laps
over into West Virginia. The Natural
Bridge National forest, however, Is
wholly In Virginia. Its r Is about
100000 acres. The forest protects q
part Of the James river watershed.

Platinum Mines of Russia
Said to Afford the Worlds
Most Profitable Dredqinq

The most profitable dredging in the
world can be done on the platinum
placers of Russia, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. The value of the
metal recovered Is often equivalent
for considerable periods of operation
to S. a cubic yard. When one remem-
bers that the gravels of the California
gold-dredging fields yielded only about
10 cents to Is cents a cubic yard on
an average, and nevertheless paid well,
the possible profits of platinum dredg-
ing become apparent.
Before the war there were about %
dredges at work in the Urals, Operat-
ing two-thirds of the time of each
working season of about $50 days, and
averaging 500 cubic yards a dredge a
day, thus working a total of about
100000 cubic yards of material a
year, and recovering annually 10000
to 100000 ounces of platinum. There
is only n first-class dredge in opera
ton in the Urals. They are mostly of
antiquated design and of poor con-
struction.
First-class dredges working in ma
terial of similar characteristics dig
several times as much gravel a day in
other countries with similar climate.
Working costs in the Ural regions are
twice those in Montana, which has a
similar climate, but where the aurifer-
Gus gravel is much harder to dredge.

How the German laborer
Is Chained to His Job

Control Of labor power In Germany
is absolute, according to information
obtained from that country. Just how
each workman Is chained to his job
may be realized when 1t is known that
he cannot change positions without the
written consent either Of his employ
er or Of a board of sever members
appointed by the military authorities.
The boards of seven include an army
officer as chairman, two government
officials, two employers, and two work
ingmen. The w~orkingmen, therefore,
not only have small representation on
the board, but are denied the opportu-
nifty OF choosing their own representa-
tives, for that is undertaken by the
war Office.

Some Extraordinary Names
Are Occasionally Fastened
Upon the innocent Babes

What extraordinary names some
people are compelled to bear or choose
TO assume! | hesitate to call them
christian names" because they aren't
Christian, very often. Given names"
is perhaps the better way OF describ-
ing them. Perhaps you have heard OF
the Irishman assisting at q baptism,
who, when he heard the godmother
answer Hazel to the question as to
the child's name, broke forth: For
the love av hiyen; the whole calendar
is full of the names OF blessed female
saints, and they do be calm the baby
after a mutt"
l thought Of that when / looked
through the catalogue Of a girls col
lege the other day and noted these
labels: Code Mae, Eura, Arvilla,
Kathryn, Elva, Media, Izer, Neva, Ra-
mona, Mabene, Vida, Esta, Mills.
Mayme, Mable, Arthetta, Lilyan, Bu-
lah, Arbita, Narmie, Ara, jennie, Roxa,
Zurelle, Zuliene, Vanja, Mote, CCrenna.
1t was q comfort to get back to Bridget
and Margaret! Names are not 8rbi-
trary combinations of vowGls and con-
sonants; they have, or should have,
significance, a historic setting, a per-
sonal and family relationship, that dig
nities them.
To invent fantastic labels for pet
dogs may be allowed; but human be-
ings ought not to be put on that level.
SO, misspellings Of familiar names,
Christian or family, seem either undig-
nitied or ignorant, o when fixed
spellings have been accepted. Can
some one explain Ga Nun and U'Rell,
both of which variants intrigue me?-

Uncle Sam Is to Conserve

Going to wed during the war?
Better order that ring right away.
Expecting to invest in gold luxuries?
Better forget that-it can't be done

For our Uncle Sam has decided to

The gold administrator may not

But gold-the commodity-will here

Use Of gold, the commodity, will be

plains as follows:
"As far as we know, first instruc-
tons to stop exchanging gold bullion
for gold coin or cash has been rescind-
ed. We have resumed the exchange in
a modified or restricted way. The flu
ture course will be governed by the
drain that is made on the supply. 1t
will work out as simply as the cam
paigns to conserve sugar, wheat, fuel
and gasoline. And in a close a the
plan follows the same general pur-
pose. The government will keep track
