WOMANSUFFRACE ONLY A MATTER
 OF SHORT TIME
OpiOn of Speeches at Luncheon of Suffragists Yes-
 terday.

Woman Suffrage is only matter of a very short time, considering the many favorable prospects in view for the cause. As Ivan L. Warehouse of Stratford stated during his address at the meeting of the Fairfield Coun- ty Suffrage asociation held at the Stratfield yesterday, it seems as if the passage of the Federal Amendment will not be very difficult.
 Fairfield county has good pros- poets for having the bill passed" de- clared MT. Morehouse, "the present speaker of the House is in favor of Woman Suffrage and there are also many good advocates for the cause in the Senate.'
 Representative Samuel c. Shaw of Bedding and Representative William Chew of this city gave their views on the matter and both are earnest in their belief that Fairfield County women will be successful in their ef- forts. MT Shaw said Nthat woman suffrage will bring a frank under standing between men and women, and there is every reason to believe that the women will greatly assist in solving many of the great problems of the country.
 Members of the association express ed great regret and disappointment in the inability of Mayor Clifford B. Wilson to be present. Mayor Wilson was detained in Hartford, and Sena- tor Delaney and Senator Bartlett could not be present on account of

the court session,


 A resolution of sympathy on the loss of Theodore Roosevelt was adopt ed during the afternoon sesion. It was voted by the members to raise the finances to cover the expenses that have become greater this year on account of the campaigns being carried on, and a large sum of money was secured.
 A discussion of citizenship was talk en up during the course of the meet ing and 1t was voted to have each league appoint a citizenship chairman and form citizenship classes. A splen- did book has been written on the sub ject by Mrs. Nancy Schoonmaker, well known lecturer and writer, and 1t was decided to use her book in the classes. Five towns in Fairfield have already organized such classes com posed of teachers, school pupils, bus mess and society women.

BACK TO SCHOOL" DRIVE.

The Connecticut Council of De- fense is launching a "back to schooT' drive, and those boys and girls who have been tempted away from school by high wages received in factories, and those who left school to work a a patriotic duty, will now be urged to return to school and resume their studies.
 This is one of the greatest problems now confronting the nation, as the neglect of the education of the chil- dren is a great hindrance in the pro- gressiveness of a country. Another point that the council will work or will be the prevention of labor of children 14 years of age.

spread throughout the surrounding
country with rapidity, and it reached
the ears of persons not above commit
ting crime to possess themselves of
the fruits of the young ninventor s
genius. The machine was stored in n
building On the Green plantation. This
building was broken into at night, and
the machine was carried off.
Whitney was stunned by the blow,
but soon set to work making another
model. Before he could secure pat
emit on it the stolen machine had been
duplicated number of times, and the
models were in use on plantations.
Mr.. Whitney began the manufacture
of his machine in pnectieut. and
though he received grant of $4,000
from the state of South Carolina, he
spent all his means in the courts at
tempting to protect himself against in
Engagements.
Finally satisfied that he should new
er receive just compensation for his
great invention, he turned to other pur-
suits in order to gain a livelihood. In
the latter years of his life he engaged
in making firearms for the government.
This industry he developed on a large
scale and eventually gained fortune
out of it. He applied several of his
inventions TO other manufactures of
iron and steel His death occurred in
1895 at his home in New Haven.

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look years youngeri Use Grandmoth-
er recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur
and nobody will know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother 3 time.
She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive Whenever
her hair took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mixture
was applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and out
of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any
rug store for bottle of :. Wyeth IS Sage
and Sulphur Compound" you viii get
this famous old preparation, improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
which can be depended upon to restore
natural color and beauty to the hair.
a well-known downtown druggist says
it darkens the hair so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied. You simply dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it ands draw this
through your hair, taking one strand at
q time. BY morning the gray hair disap.
pears, and after another application OF
two, it becomes beautifully dark and
glossy.-Adv.

of meeting the calls made upon the town by the vari-

were due March l, and most of them have been paid
There are some people, however, who have not yet
met their obligations. Until they do final state
ment of the associations standing cannot be rem

have co-operated so efficiently in handling chest

the matter prompt attenton-to do his part in finish
ing task so well started and SO welworth while.

INVENTION STOLEN,

After Years of Fighting IN Courts
Whitney Was Obliged TO Turn to
Making Firearms to Make a Living
Story of His Life. s>7--s

WASHINGTON, D. c., March ia
Few patents ever issued in the United
States have been of more material bene-
fit to the masses than the patent Is
sued one hundred and twenty FIVE. years
ago today to Eli Whitney, a humble
Connecticut genius, for his invention
of the cotton-gin. In the opinion of
Macauley, the historian, Whitney s in
vention did more for the progress Of the
United States than Peter the3Great
did to make Russia dominant.
Yet the inventor, of this great agency
in the world 3 great progress was de-
prived by thief of his rights to his
own invention and was obliged, after
an unavailing fight TO protect himself,
20 turn to other pursuits to make
livelihood.
Whitney's life and achievements be-
long to the romance Of invention. Born
on a farm, he developed a natural APP
| titude for mechanics. At the time of
| the Revolution, for want of better en-
ployment, he was earning his livelihood
making nails by hand. At this trade
he earned enough money 10 enter Yale
college. from which he was graduated
in 1892. 49,
Going TO Georgia to secure position
as tutor, which was filed before his ar
tval, Whitney was asked to5reside- for
a time on the plantation of the widow
of Gen. Nathaniel Green at Mulberry
Grove, on the Savannah river
Here he met number of planters,
which learned Of his mechanical gifts
from Mrs. Green, and asked him if he
could devise some machine for elean-
ing cotton. The removal of the seeds
from cotton, which was done by hand
was such slow process that cotton rails
ing could not be carried ON at q profit
A pound of green cotton was all that a
negro woman could clean in a day
Whitney knew nothing about cotton
raising, but he threw himself with ar.
dor into the study of the problem, and
hogan work on a machine IN building
of the Green plantation. -
In 1898 the machine was ready, and
when exhibited by Whitney it delight
ed the planters who saw it, for they
