WESTERLY MEN IGNORE LAW

Aside from the moving picture house, that will observe Tuesday in- stead of Monday, the only places open for full business yesterday were the ] two banks and the post office, and it was impossible to buy even a smoke or a chew of tobacco in Westerly. Even the restaurants observed the con- servation holiday in not selling ci- gars, cigarettes or tobacco. It is a safe bet that there was more grubbing for cigars and cigarettes than ever before, and the men who had the fore thought to lay in stock were classed as good samaritans. On the first Mon day when the fuel administrators or ders were in effect, there was divided opinion as to the operation of the or der in regard to drug stores, and there fore there was opportunity to patron ize the soda fountain and purchase to- hacco commodities. But the orders were so clarified that there was no di- vision of opinion, and the orders re- ceived the strictest compliance.
 | It was reported that small stores, far removed from the business centre and conducted by people of foreign
 birth were ignoring the federal orders and these reports came to Thomas B.

Miss Rankin Speaks

Washington, Jan. 10.-A woman
Jeanette pleading the cause
of equal rights for her sex as war
measure, today began the debate in the
house, expected to result in passage
before night of the Susan B. Anthony
amendment to the constitution.
Cheered by hundreds of women who
packed the galleries and applauded by
enthusiasts on the floor, Miss Rankin
proceeded in a calm, clear voice, and
declared that votes against suffrage
would lead the world to challenge
America IS creed of democracy.
Here was the first speech of a debate
which promised to continue until
o'clock. 1t was preceded by one of the
most unusual scenes in the house cham
ber's history. Early this morning long
lines of women were before the gallery
doors. Thousands were turned away
when the galleries and corridors be-
came packed. Miss Rankin g appear
ance, as leader of the republican suf-
frage forces, brought an ovation. But
it failed TO confuse her.
s'How can we explain to the world,
she asked, ''if the congress that voted
to make the world safe for democracy,
refused to gvie this small measure of
democracy to the women of the coun-
try?"
FToday, as never before. the nation
needs its women-needs the work of
their hands and their hearts and their
minds. Their energy must be utilized
in the most effective service they can
give. Are we now going to refuse
these women the opportunity to serve
in the face of their pleas-in the face
of the nation IS great needP
The house Immediately after con.
vening started the debate.
