SUFFRAGE IS
step NEARER
BY VOTE IN
LOWER HOUSE
Amendment Still Must Go to
Senate, Where Victory for
Act Believed. to Be Slim.
SICK MEMBERS VOTE

WASHINGTON, Jan. II. - Woman
suffrage was a step nearer retaliation
today as the result Of the victory In
the house last night, when a resolu-
ton was adopted authorizing submiss-
ion to the states Of the Susan B. An
thony amsndment for national en-
franchisement Of women.
The vote was 274 to 1856, exactly the
required two-thirds majority and but
for Speaker Clark's promise to cast
his vote for the passage OF the resolu-
ton II needed, the change Of single
cote to the opposition would have
meant defeat Republican Leader
Mann and Representative Sims. both
of whom came to the house from sick
beds, brought the votes which settled
the issue.
So close was the contest that a re-
capitulation was asked and the an
nouncement of the final vote was
greeted with wild applause and cheer
ing from the women who thronged the
galleries.
No Limit on Time.
The resolution as adopted by the
house calls for submission to the state
of the so-called Susan B. Anthony
amendment, and unlike the prohibit
ion amendment recently approved does
not limit the time that may be taken
to complete action on the part ofthe
necessary three-fourths of the state
legislatures.
The resoiution was sent to the sen

@indicate that the necessary two.thirds
could not be mustered there and a
vote may not be forced until advocates
find they have the strength with which
to put it through. President Wilson's
unexpected support OF the amendment,
assigned as one OF the reasons FOR
the house victory, is counted on by
suffragists to carry great weight IN
the senate. A similar resolution was
voted down by the senate several
years ago.
"Non-Partisan Victory"
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait. president
OF the National American Women's
Suffrage Association, in statement
today on the house suffrage vote said
It was a non-partisan victory.
"It is due to no one party that our
great victory was won" said Mrs
Gait, "but to the friends OF suffrage
in all parties. l have always hoped
and insisted that suffrage must be

TIMELINESS DEEMED
 GREATEST THING IN
 FAVOR OF TRACTOR

"The reason why so many farmers have not practiced early and deep blowing for wheat is not because they did not want to or because they did not know the advantages of doing so but more because of the fact that they lacked the power with which to do the work" says Ernest G. Coan advertising manager of the Pratt-Gil- bert company. distributors of Avery power farming machinery. The abu- ity to blow at the proper time is a matter of power more than anything else.
 Under old methods of farming ex- ClusWely with horses it was not profitable to own enough horses to pull the blows during the short blow ing season. To maintain a sufficient number of horses to do the work at the right time and in the right way was too expensive, for they would eat up a large per cent of the profits of the farm. And because the farmer was not able to do his work at the right time and in the right way, he was always handicapped and his pro- duction suffered accordingly.
 Under the new method of farming with power, the tractor affords power possibilities hitherto unheard of, and power which is economical and ready for any emergency. Because of the power of the tractor, no matter what the blowing conditions are the trae- tor can do the work in. short order. This element of timeliness-the. power 10 do the work at the right time gives the farmer the greatest asset of fered by the farm tractor.
 "One of the strongest points in ia - vor of the use of a tractor is the time lness with which the owner, can per- form his work, whether it he blow ing, seeding. harvesting or what not Proper blowing at the right time proper discing at the right time and proper seeding at the right time, will all increase yields. .''--.''..'

 "Wednesday, October Is. the day of the fatal accident, I woke Henry from his noon nap to go to work and at that time he was feeling fine. He went to work and 1 began preparation to go on guard at p. m. From the statements of the men working with him it de- Veloped that he was working at fixing the rocker arm on the frame of q machine gun support in the observers department of an airplane. Then another fellow got into the plane to warm up the motor for a flight and before Henry knew what had hap pened the plane was in the air
 The plane pursued a wild course across the field and then went into a steep turn and out of control, as the fellow in the drivers seat had had very little experience in piloting a ma chine. Finally the machine struck the ground and caught fire. Henry got out of it without the slightest injury Then he went to the help of the other fellow, who had been strapped into the plane. He started to run and French l lieutenant standing near threw his overcoat around Henry and smothered the flames. Henry retained con sciousness and was sent to the hos pital.
 "The accident happened about 3:SO D. m. and he died about F o'clock. noon, of Thursday. He was buried with full military honors on Friday. near Clermont. I did not get to see Henry after the accident, but sat up with his body Thursday night and I was one of the pallbearers at the fun eral, which was one of the best repre- | sented military funerals I have ever | witnessed.
 During his entire service in the army he showed himself to be of ir- reproachable character and an excel lent and obedient soldier. He was of kind and cheerful disposition, help ful to his comrades. and was loved by them all. The fellows showed their love and respect for him in the abun- dant donation of beautiful flowers.
 He was exonerated of all blame for the accident and his death was caused by trying to rescue a comrade in dan ger who had caused the accident, de- liberately disobeying orders against taking up the plane. Thus. Henry died the death of a hero in that he was out of the accident without injury, but sacrificed his own life in trying to

HENRY ROTHROCK'S $
 WAS HEROE' DEATH
 FUR \ COMRADE

Private Henry Rothrock of Phoenix though he did not die on the field of battle, died hero in an effort to save his comrade. He was a son of George Rothrock. one of the pioneers of this valley. The story of his death is told in Flight and Landings" an aviation paper published in France
 ''In> an aviation accident Wednesday last October 16), shortly after noon, Private First Class Arthur Worden was almost instantly killed and Pri- vate Henry Rothrock received injuries to which he succumbed at 11:15 o'clock Thursday morning. Private Worden was piloting the machine, which fell but a few score feet. His compa nion, seeing the impending tragedy, jumped from the plane imm mediately after it had struck the ground and went to the assistance of Worden, who was strap ped to the pilot scat. Despite the quick work of both men, the gasoline tank exploded before Worden could be ex- tricated from the wrecked machine and the plane was immediately en- veloped in flames.
 "Irregardless of the intense heat and danger to himself, 'Rothrock remained at his task heroically until his cloth ing was a mass of flames Then, and not till then, did he leave his post Nearby French soldiers smothered the Rothrock with their outer clothing and Fothrock was administered first aid and rushed to the hospital, where he succumbed.

months there is need for fast work. And it is during these months when the heat makes it impossible to use horses to advantage and get the full power out of them that the tractor is fully appreciated. Flowing comes on when there are a dozen other urgent duties on the farm. Crops are then ready for threshing. With these other duties the farmer can hardly afford to take the time necessary for blowing. Usually he is forced to postpone his blowing till his other work is out of the way. This puts the blowing off until late, which results in decreased yield
 With a tractor, a man does not have to worry about the amount of work, the condition of the soil or the hot weather. He can get into the field and blow at the right time and at the depth he wants. By blowing early and deep and then following the blow with a disc and harrow, when seeding time comes around, the soil will be in the best possible condition for the early germination of the seed ..,..

WHAT KIND OF TIRE
 |S ON YOUR TRUCK?

Users of one ton trucks. who employ their vehicles for moderate tasks and over fairly good roads, are debating among themselves whether solid or pneumatic tires are best adapted to the job of saving time and money.
 L. W. Belknap, who recently pur- chased a one-top truck at Fresno for use on his ranch, is an advocate of the 36 by 6 castings and tubes with which he has had his vehicle equipped, E. $. Rawson, one of his neighbors who is also. a Chevrolet owner, has decided to stick to the. solid tires, and between them a friendly rivalry has developed.
 Each has agreed 10 keep accurate check on every item of expense in con- nection with his machine, with the single exception of charge for drivers. Mileage. gasoline and oil consumption. repair bills. tonnage hauled and sever al other items will be recorded. and on June 1st the two will compare notes in defense of their tire theories. The ex- pertinent is being watched with in terest by farmers in the San Joaquin Valley of California.

MAKERS SAY BICYCLE
 |S NUT YET EXTINCT

The wisdom of the saying that "one half of the world knows very little about the way the other half lives has again been brought out strikingly in connection with the bi- cycle industry. An offending editorial in one of the monthly magazines to the effect that the bicycle industry was being "revived' has brought from the champions of the industry all over the country sharp reproof substanti- ated by figures showing that the in- dustry has not only held its own but is making substantial gains.
 In the opinon of the bicycle manu- lecturers it is simply another case of our country being so vast that it is hard to get the proper conception and the broad viewpoint without careful analysis.
 Some interesting figures and facts about the general use of the bicycle have been compiled to refute any idea there might have been that our old friend the bicycle had vanished. If those who are responsible for national reviews would do a little more travelling, and now and then visit the thriving communities of from | 800 to 10000 population, instead of ac- i cepting custom and habit which exists about them as typical of what folks . are doing all over the country, they might come a little closer to the truth | in their conclusions arrived at says l an article recently dealing with the great function being performed by bi- | cycles in the workaday world and at the fighting front.
 Tt will probably be news to some of us,' the article continues, "to learn that the vanished bicycle is in use on the fighting fronts in Europe by the hundreds of thousands. Uncle Sam since his arrival on the scene, has placed orders and has received thous- ands of American made bicycles for use of the Tanks g
 The invading Germans made 9 heavy levy upon every invaded Bel gian city in August, 1914, demanding bicycles for use in their army. And in some parts of the country, people might be surprised to know that 1T July of this year the second city il size in the United States pulled off 2 real old-fashioned bicycle race, witt 100 entries and 50,00O people in at tendance.
 AS matter of fact" the article states eliminating Manhattan island the loop district in Chicago, and th' center of Boston, bicycles have beer in constant use in every part of th' country and even in other parts O these large centers. In cities o larger size, the number of bicycles il use increases steadily in proportion t population. In Buffalo. Indianapolis Philadelphia and Detroit they are il use by the tens of thousands. On tn Pacific coast it has been conserva lively figured that over a million bicy cles are in daily use.'
 This article also brings out the fac that the bicycle industry of Americ
 has normal daily capacity of 300 complete bicycles. which are the out
 put of 12 modern plants.
 With these facts in mind no ma nnnld possibly reach the conciusio

was: Pvt. Rothrock died from a shock suffered while trying to aid com rade in danger
 Pvt. Worden was one of the most efficient motor mechanics on the field. He was d graduate of one of the air service motor schools for heavy planes and very efficient man. He had nursed desire to fly since his en- listment and was a student of avia- tion. He enlisted early in May, 1917, and came to France over a year ago with one of the first aero squadrons to come over seas. He was born at Edna, Cal, and was 23 years of age.
 Pvt. Rothrock answered the call to arms late in April, 1917, and spent one year in training in the states. He had been in France nine months. He was 2 years of age and was born at Phoc- nix. Arizona.
 Funeral services with full military honors were held Thursday afternoon over the remains of Pvt. Worden. From reveille until he was laid at rest the colors were lowered to half mast in honor of q hero who had given his all that democracy and right would triumph over might The last salute was rendered by his comrades of the
 
 of friend, a comrade in arms and a hero who had died for Old Glory.
 Pvt Rothrock was laid to rest in the military cemetery Friday morning with an impressive ceremony. Full military honors were accorded this heroic soldier who gave up his life for a friend. In his honor the colors were lowered to half mast from reveille un- til after the ceremony and the last sa- lute was rendered by members of the squadron paying their last tribute to one of their most popular comrades, who knew him from the time the squadron was first organized as a man of sterling qualities, forgetful of self and always ready to aid any who were | in need.'
 Although the accident resulting in l the death of Henry Rothrock occurred l just a month ago yesterday, no official | information of it has been received by | his father. The foregoing account was received by him yesterday, but two 1 days ago the following letter apprising i him of the death of his son was re- ceived from a comrade who had beer with Henry Rothrock at Huachuca:

STUBBORN PERUVIAN
 SP0|LS RECORD RUN

An obstinate ferryman, who refused to leave his warm bunk to take him and his machine across the Colorado river in Arizona, prevented "Chevro- let Dick" Hollingsworth from hanging up new record from Phoenix to Los Angeles last week As it was, Hol- lingsworth made the long run in even 2S hours, out of which but 20 hours were spent in actual travelling. Hol- lingsworth used Chevrolet Baby Grand roadster on his "jaunt," and de- clares his maximum speed did not reach 70 miles an hour
 Hollingsworth was in Phoenix Sat urday afternoon when a telegram came which called him to Los Angeles. He was ready to start at , o'clock and headed for Salome without other preparation than plenty of gas and oil, and a radiator full of water. Salome was reached at o'clock, but the trip was not resumed until II o'clock as Chevrolet Dick waited over to see a party arriving on the night train.
 The Ehrenberg ferry at the Colorado was reached at three o'clock in the morning, and then Dicks troubles be- gan. No money offer or other persua- sion could convince the ferry tender he should run his boat across the wide stream, so the Chevrolet pilot was forced to cool his heels until after seven. At Blythe, Tom Carrigan ! treated Chevrolet Dick" to a hearty l breakfast and the run toward Los An l geles was resumed a few minutes after o'clock.
 | From this point on Chevrolet Dick | had easy sailing, and Los Angeles and the Stowell hotel were reached at 7:S0 o'clock that night. Two punctures were all the grief encountered. and
