THE VOTE OF WOMAN'S
SUFFRAGE IN SENATE.

On October /, the Senate of the
United States voted on what is
termed the Susan b. Anthony
amendment TO the Constitution of
the United States, which was intend
ed to give women the ballot. The
proposed amendment had already
passed the lower house by the re-
CURED two-thirds majority. Before
the amendment could have become
effective, it would have had to be
ratified by 36 states. The two-thirds
majority was lacking in the Senate.
hence the proposition to submit the
amendment for ratification to the
several states was lost.
The following recapitulation of
the vote is quoted:
The lineup with the pairs, as an
nounced, was as follows:

THE MILL BUSINESS
VISION IN WAR TINES.

"Be sure you are right-then go
ahead" seems to be the motto OF
American business men.
Everywhere business men have
been wondering whether they should
push their business, to what extent
they should advertise, and whether it
IS patriotic to think much of business
while others are serving in the
trenches and in purely essential m
dustries.
These problems are fast being
classified for the business world. One
of the best answers to these questions
of what to do Win business in war
time, is found IN TIE experience of
England. In a recent interview print
ed n the Chicago Tribune. Harry
Gordon Selfridge, the great London
merchant made statements that
should be read by every merchant in
America. Here is what he said:-
Son August 5, 1914, the day after
war vas declared, l increased our ad-
vertising space. From that day, /
have been buying all the advertising
space available. | would do more
advertising today if | could get the
space. We are limited only by the
limitations of the newspapers. We
are taking right now every inch they
will give us and at rates that would
make us in the States turn somer-
saults and fall over backwards.
Il am paying at the rate of 81 per
agate line for display space right
now. | will take more if they will
give it to me-and at that rate. |
will probably pay more before the war
is over. But I will take all they can
give.
"The first four months of this year
have been the biggest four months in
our history. This growth has come
because we have forced it. At the
beginning of this year, we were the
sixteenth largest house of the kind in
the world. At the end of the year we
will be the sixth. Within two years
after the new store building is COM
pleted, we will be first"
Ads Shatter Traditions.
"a big factor-a very big factor
in this record has been and will con-
tinue to be newspaper advertising
We never could have broken thru
these traditions over here without it..
We had to use all we could to break
THROUGH traditions and make them
SOP, look and listen. Then the store
itself. did the rest. We now talk to
millions of people every day thru our
: 1;~G columns, and they be-

lieve in US, trust us, respond TO mat
advertising quickly, and continue to
be orr customers in all kinds OF
weather. The large business enter
prise that is not going the limit IN
advertising just now, is making a
huge mistake. Now, more than at
any other time, it is necessary to push
the displays of advertising. II re-
trenchments appear necessary they
should be made in every other de-
partment but the publicity one-the
newspaper advertising. These prices
they are soaking us now for space
are simply awful, but l will take more
space if they will give it to me-"
In commenting on the Selfridge
store. the Tribune said:-
People here refer to the Selfridge
store as 1.-The miracle store" and the
GRANT business romance" M. Self
ridge achieved what his friends and
all London told him was impossible
the establishing in the heart of Lon
don's great drapery district, Of a
typical American department store
of large size. They told him and
proved it to him, to their satisfaction,
that he would lose every dollar he in
tended putting in it. They endeavor-
ed by every kind of persuasion to
have him see the light and return to
America before he had to borrow the
price of a steerage ticket.
Advertising Is Secret.
Today they still marvel. They
cannot understand it. Perhaps if
Mr.. Selfridge were to answer why he
fooled everybody and made himself
the merchant Prince of London in a
few years, and had to compress his
answer into n word, he might reply,
"Advertising."
That is, it was the judicious and
intelligent publicity that brought the
store to the people of London. His
greatest task was to get in touch with
a stone wall of tradition opposing
him. Innovations, particularly from
America, made no appeal. Then he
turned on London a searchlight of
newspaper advertising that stands in
the record as one of the most bril-
liant and expensive pages in mercan-
tile publicity.
Invests Huge Sums.
He began spending money as if he
had the Bank of England back of him
He realized that the London populace
might not grasp in w~onderment at a
small advertisement extolling the
merits of a silk stocking. He real
lied that he had to do something on a
big scale, and something above all
else, that would compel attention. He
knew that Londoners have a weak
