MOTHERS CIRC.E TO
OPPOSE SPElCHER BILL
Will Furnish Paper Towels and Liquid
Soap For City Grammar
School

Much business was transacted at
Tuesday afternoons meeting of the
Mothers Circle, held in the Grammar
School Assembly Hall. Not the least
of this business was the appointing
of committee TO wait on the Anne
Arundel Senator and Delegates and
others to register opposition to the
Speicher bill for the defeat of the
Compulsory Education Law. The
Mothers Circle is in sympathy with
the Compulsory Education Law. but it
believes the truant officer should be a
woman, woman, they say, would ex-
anime into conditions as to the rea-
son for the child's non-attendance at
school.
The Circle also took action to CO.
operate with Miss Walton, county
chairman of the Thrift Stamps. to aid
in this propaganda. The following
committee was appointed: Mrs. w
f. Miller, Mrs. Robert Moss, Mrs.
Eppes, Mrs T. j. Linthicum, as presi:
dent of the Circle, a member ex-
officio.
Mrs. w. L. Olivet was made chair
man of a special committee who will
furnish paper towels and liquid soap
for the pupils of the Grammar School.
During the afternoon an entertain
ing program was presented Mrs.
Philip Miller sang very sweetly, and
Miss Dorothy Brewer played a piano
solo. A paper was read by Mrs Carol
Foster on the theme, Shall We have
Fairgrounds for our children?" The
paper was fully and freely discussed.
but no action was taken
A recent lecture to women and girls
delivered by DR. Mabel Ulrich was dis
cussed, and an effort made to supply
the subject matter suggested by DR..
Ulrich, if practicable.
The meeting was frought with a
great deal of interest and enthusiasm

RIVERVIEW BRIDGE Is
VERY STRONGLY URGED
Delegation Of Prominent Taxpayers
Appears Before Senator Frank Nj.
DuvaIl of Anne Arundel

Strong endorsement of the plan to
build an additional bridge across
South River, as provided for in the
bill introduced by Senator Duvall
was given by a delegation of promi-
nent citizens and property owners
from the Riverview section of the
county yesterday afternoon. The
delegation, which went before Sen
ator Duvall to endorse his measure,
included DR. r. c. Foote, rector of St
David's Church, Roland Park, who
owns a country place on the south
side of the river; Mr.. E. b. DuVal, who
also has a summer place in the neigh
borhood, and Messrs. Charles Wilson
and Eugene p. Childs.
The bill provides for a county bond
issue of thirty thousand dollars for
the construction of the bridge. It's
erection would do away with the
present old ferry service at this point,
which is each winter subjected to
serious interruption by the freezing of
the river.

SUFFRAGE FIGHT IS
ON AT STATE HOUSE
Advocates of Votes For Women
Fill Senate Galleries S lime
For Voting Approaches
BILLS PASSAGE INDI .ATEO
Small Majority Locked For In Favor
s0f Presidential Measure In The
Senate House Not So
Certain

Advocates of equal suffrage and
their supporters in The Senate are
confidently awaiting today the fight
which will break in the upper House
when the Warfield bill comes up un-
der special order this afternoon This
measure, introduced by Senator Wade
II. ID. Wardeld of Carroll County, ex-
tends TO women the right to vote for
presidential electors
Indications today are that it will be
passed by. small majority Friends
of the bill are claiming sixteen votes
for it. but if all the Senators eNcep'
Mitchell. of Charles County who Is
i'll at his home, are present the line
up probably will be IA for and II
against. This. however, is by no
means certain. because at least one of
the Senators whom the suffragists
have counted upon is believed to be
wavering and may switch at the last
moment. but the sumragists appear to
have the advantage over their oppo-
nents this morning and are confident
that their bill will be passed.
As soon as the bill comes up Sena-
tor Wartield probably will be recog-
nized by the chair and will speak
briefly of its merits. Senator Frick S.
expected to lead the opposition. but
the voting will not be long delayed
This morning neither side seems TO
want an extended oratorical or par
battle. Senator Bennett.
of Wicomico County. is expected to be
Senator Warfield's principal supporter
on the floor.
The suffrage measure was the first
bill to be introduced in the Senate.
1t was referred to the Committee ON
Judicial Proceedings and came out of
that committee without a recommenda-
tion last week just before the Senate
adjourned for the exercises in com
memoration of Washingtons birthday
Senator Warfield moved that II be
made the special order for today and
the motion was carried.
The prospects of the passage of
their bill by the Senate brought the
suffragists to the State House in large
numbers today. The antis in the
morning, at least, were conspicuous
by their absence. They had made
their stand, however, at the big meet
ing last night. when Miss Charlotte
Il. Rowe, of New York, and Judge Os-
car Lesser, of Baltimore, delivered ad-
dresses against the extension of the
franchise to women.

HOT FIGHT OVER
THE Bible BILL
House of Delegates Wrangles For
Many Hours Over hildebraud
Measure Yesterday After
noon
MELVIN LEADER in FIGHT
Bill Is Finally Emasculated And With
: A Numb n of Counties Exempt
ed Passed To Third Reading

With Delegate Melvin, of Anna
Arundel taking active part in the de-
ba.e, the House yesterday fought for
hours over the Hildebrand bill max
ing compulsory the reading of the
Holy Bible" at every session of the
public schools of the State. The bill
was first passed to its third reading
after unusually acrimonious debate
and then this action was reconsider
ed and the measure emasculated in
such a way that its final passage is
very doubtful.
The same sort of bill has been in
trOduced at every session of the Gen
eral Assembly for years past and has
always been defeated, the ground OF
objection being that the reading OF
any one version of the scriptures
would be contrary to the wishes of the
parents of a considerable proportion
of the pupils and to that extent be an
infringement upon religious liberty
and abridge religious federation.
That was the objection yesterday
and it was further charged by Mr.
Benson that the bill was engineered
by the leading spirit of a secret anti
Catholic C--,4 in Baltimore and was
the first of a series of bills aimed at
the Catholics and the Jews 1t was
noted that the man mentioned was in
the gallery and that he called mem
bers out of the House for consultation
during the discussion.
The bill was reported favorably
from the Committee on Education.
After the House had wrangled over it
the better part of the afternoon ses-
sion, the favorable report was adopt
ed
Then Clagett introduced an amend
ment concurred in by the unanimous
delegations from Prince Georges and
Charles to exempt those counties from
the provisions of the bill This was
carried on a close vote After a re-
cess the House met at o'clock and
first st. Mary's and then Anne Arun
del. Baltimore, Montgomery and Har-
ford Counties and the first district OF
Baltimore City were exempted.
men 1ZSdSuG IIIi OuuCCu dn
ment that virtually killed the object
of the measure, to the effect that nc
school board or school authority
should be allowed to dictate or even
indicate to any teacher what version
of the Bible should be read. This
was carried. Mr. Melvin who hao
been a leading advocate of the bill
supported the amendments and said
that after further consideration he
was convinced that the measure might
cause friction and religious animosity
and that he had decided to vote against
the bill on it's third reading.
Mr. Mcintosh hotly resented j
statement of Mr. Melvin that any man
who would vote against the bill would
be voting against the Bible He de-
nounced such an imputation and de-
clared that he considered the bill q
violation of religious toleration. Mr.
Melvin retracted what he had said sc
far as it related to the members from
Baltimore County and apologized tC
them if he had done them injustice
but he maintained that this country
was a Christian nation" and ought
not to be ashamed to proclaim tha
fact by such a bill as the one under
consideration.

EGGS DROP FIFTEEN CENTS
Tumble in Twenty-fours Hours Due To
The MiIder Weather.

With a drop of 10 cents yesterday
and an expected drop of 5 cents to-
day, on the wholesale price of eggs,
housewives will probably begin to
burnish up the old utensils formerly
used in cake baking The drop comes
as a natural consequence of the
warmer weather and at the time of
the year that it is usually looked for
From now on unless the thermometer
takes an awful tumble. the average
being may almost hope to have an
egg occasionally for breakfast.

Shoes To Be Lower
not In Price But Height

Shoes are to be lower, not in price,
but in height, in order to conserve
leather.
Unless women wish to advertise
hosiery hereafter they will have
to lengthen their skirts, for it was
decreed in New York Tuesday that
their shoes are to be no more than SO
inches in height
The Council of National Service
of the Shoe and Leather Trades has
decided that the conservation OF
leather and prevention of waste re-
quire a severe cut in material used in
civilian shoes. Accordingly all deal
ers were urged to place orders for
shoes no higher than SlS inches for
women, and TO sell white foot gear to
men during the warm season. Recon-
mendation was also made that there
be a curtailment to colors and that
uniformity be established
