night and by putting Fuel Adminstra-

Trade, it was said, was unusually

Wants State to Build
Barges for Canal
| staff Correspondence

ALBANY. Feb. 1S.-A bill commit
vessels for use on the barge canal was
introduced in the Legislature tonight
by Senator Henry M. Sage, of Albany
County. The sum Of 81 100000 was ap-
propriatcd for the carrying out of the
programme.
"Thc barge canal will be opened for
traffic by the middle OF May" Senator
Sage said "Morc than $l5O,0O0 900 was
spent on It. This canal, with the Ca
yuga and Seneca canals. reaches the
coal fields OF Pennsylvania. We had a
coal shortage this winter, and it is still
with us. The only reason for it was
that we did not have the means OF
transportation available.
"This bill will remedy that situation
largely. 1T is true it is d radical de-
Iarturc. but it is necessary. The ST.
100000 will be New York's contribution
to the war, and it will be spent in
building boats for transporting coal to
New York City, Buffalo, and other
points along the canal system, and to
all the New England states.
"This bill permits the state, through
tho Canal Board, to build and equiv
canal boats and other craft or to pur-
chase or lease them for period not
The state may lease the boats to indi-
viduals or corporations for operation
or it may operate them itself through

is empowered TO fix transportation

Few Women Appear at Classes
For Voting on the First Day
Politics Politely Changes Headquarters From Barber Shop
to Ice Cream Parlors but Fair Sex Fail
to Appear in Force

Politics marched out Of the pool
rooms and the barber shops yesterday
and established itself in lingerie shops
and ice cream parlors. 1t was the
dawn of new era. All up and down
Broadway above 125th Street, where
the 2lst Congressional District begins.
IN dozens of places hitherto unknown
to 1t. politics was on the job for the
benefit Of prospective women voters
who are to cast their first ballots on
March s.
Politics is so polite. all OF a sudden.
1t wouldn't ask the women to go TO
strange committee rooms or Offices to
learn how to mark a ballot. 1t went
out to meet them in the places where
they feel most at home-cmbroide derry
stores and ladies' tailoring shops and
othcr business places familiar to them.
Truth compels the confession that
for the first day the women didn't meet
this concession half way. Perhaps it
was because they hadn't all walked up
to the fact that history was being made
IN the dingy little shop where the
three Misses We'll dispense knitting
needles and tatfcta petticoats. Per
haps they shrugged their shoulders and
said:

husband can teach me all | need to
know. It's nothing to cast balIo.
right"
The district leaders, however, women
who watched at the polls in the last
election, know better, and they are
going to stay at their posts every day
for the three days set for the schools,
Just as if the women were heckiag
there with professions of baby car
riages as long as those that festoon
themselves around tho market when q
fresh barrel Of sugar is opened up.
"Wc know how many mems ballots
are thrown out every year" said Miss
Rose Fay, chairman of the Dist Assem-
bly, District. "Onc man last fall was
so ANXIOUS to help the women get the
vote that instead of making a cross IN
the square he wrote the whole word
Yes It nearly broke our hearts to see
that vote thrown out, but there were
lots of anti votes thrown out, too. We
don't want that to happen to us at this.
our first election. Everybody is Just
waiting to laugh at us"
The instructions given to the women
yesterday included little lecture on
why this special election WAS being
held, what questions were asked of the
electors when they registered, and all
about marking the cross exactly in the
centre OF the square, and then folding
the ballot and handing it with polite.
but not too polite, smile to the clec-
tion clerk.
A woman needn't think she can i'm
prove on the way the election clerk
folded it in the beginning; she must
fold it just as he did, and it's fatal if
you put it in the box yourself instead
of letting the gentleman do that little
service for you.

Spies Use Stamps
To Transmit Secrets

Information that the government has
discovered that German agents in this
country have sent military information
to Berlin by means of codes derived
from arrangements of postage stamps
was placed before the American Stamp
Dealers Association last night. The
association met here to consider the
government censors' action in holding
up dealers letters since about Decem-
Der l containing stamp imports and
exports. Stamps have been removed
from mail consigned to or from Amer

The codes said to have been discov-

OF Europe, eventually reaching Ger

this form of espionage are declared to

multitude of variations of sizes. COL
