ST. Louis, Mo-, Oct. Increased
production as a mean of settling the

THE MOMEN'S CHANCE

THE right of the citizens of the
United States to vote shall not be
denied or abridged by the United
States or by any state on account of
sex" Thus reads the Susan B. An
thony national suffrage amendment
to the federal Constitution, which
was passed by the House as one of
the first measures of this session.
Suffrage leaders are now centering
their fight for the vote in the Senate,
where, although twice defeated in the
last session, they are confident of OBJ
tanning the necessary two-thirds ma
jority. If passed by the Senate with
out amendment, the bill must then be
signed by the President and ratified
by three-fourths of the states before
the women will actually have the
privilege of voting in the entire Unit
ed States.
The women of the United States
have had to fight longer perhaps for
suffrage than those of any other coun-
try. Both locally and nationally they
have slowly gained, though, until in
twenty-nine states in the Union, wom-
en- now have some form of suffrage
and in fifteen of these have full suf-
frage. More than one-half of the
wcmen in the United States of voting
age are now entitled to the ballot.
That, however, which suffrage lead
ers in this country hold even higher
than local and national strides, is
what in purport is considered by them
the recognition of woman suffrage by
the Peace Conference. By the vote
of this body, the following article
was included in the revised League of
Nations covenant: "All positions un-
der or in connection with the league,
including the secretariat, shall be
open equally to men and women"
With all these indications that the
country and the world are ready for
suffrage. leaders feel certain of an
easy victory.

Brownie said that "for the purpose

war rights and privileges in toto Tin

Then the A.S.E. will offer to remove
some of the restrictions on women.
Although the A.S.E still holds that

in the workshop" he explained, Eve

greatly increased production, doing

Before the war women did not work
in the mechanical trade at all, except

KANSAS CITY, May 24.-Chalk up
one more in the score of achievements
for Missouri. Kansas City started it

paign which has been successfully
under way for several weeks.
Letters received at headquarters
for the movement here show that the
campaign to aid persons to own their

has attracted nationwide interest.
Numerous out-of-town visitors have
been frequent at the headquarters Of
flee seeking information as to result
obtained in the campaign here.
While the building boom is distrib-
uted over practically the entire coun-
try, the local campaign is held re-
sponsible for the pronounced increase
in home building 'and buying here.
Dealers in building materials say
prices will remain high for several
years, and that persons waiting for
them to drop before building are
making a serious mistake.

c. III. s. PRAISED BY VISITOR
Columbia One of Best In State, G. v
Price Says.


That the Columbia High School
takes first rank among the better high
schools of the state was the opinion
expressed by G. V. Price of Kansas
City, a graduate student in the Uni
versity, who visited the High School
yesterday. He noted an aggressive
spirit Of work, good discipline and
an excellent system of school rec
ords"
The detention period assigned to
the students who have bad deport-
ment serves it's purpose we'll, he says.
A record is kept of the infractions of
each student and the judgment of the
teacher is therefore less likely to be
a snap judgment. When bolshevism
has been rampant in many schools it
is pleasure to see that Columbia
High School is one where school work
is made the real business of the stu
dents.

In response to appeals of 100000

A series of conferences between the

The importance of this may be
gauged from the fact that the A.SE.
dominates the mechanical trade,
where the bulk of war substitution of
women took place.
Brownie declared that:
MunitiOn plants are already under

manufacturing products England Ell

Other plants are to be expanded or re-
constructed for the same purpose.
These products include:
Electrical appliances-formerly i'm

to be manufactured in England on
large scale.
Motor cars-made on a small scale |
before the war, but principally i'm |
ported either from the continent or

Glasgow but capable of further de-
