JOSEPH w. BAILEY WARNS
SOUTH AGAINST SUFFER-
AGE AMENDMENT

Jos. w. Bailey, a native Miss
iSsippian, and for years United
States Senator from Texas, has
gone on record as opposing the
female suffrage amendment
which is now being submitted to
the state legislatures for ratifica-
ton. He knows conditions in the
South as well as any man in the
country, and looks with horror
upon the enfranchisement of
more than a million negro women.
He sounds the alarm in the fol-
lowing strong and ringing sent
ence:
IT venture to predict that if
Southern States ratify this wom-
an suffrage amendment, they will
repent their error in sackcloth
and ashes; for as certain as we
once make suffrage national, in
stead of a State, question just
that certain time will come when
the Southern States will be COM
PEELED to allow the negro to vote,
else their representation in Con-
gress and in the electoral college
will be reduced. Heretofore the
Democrats of the North and the
more liberalmindcd Republicans,
have acquiesced in our election
laws designed to exclude the
negro from our electorate, and
that acquiescence has proceeded
largely upon the theory that the
question was local one; but
when we declare, by our votes,
that the States cannot be trusted
to regulate suffrage within them,
and, that the national power shall
be invoked to coerce unwilling
States, how can we longer say that
the question is a local one?
l do not expect to see the
Republican party make any such
issue in the next Presidential
campaign; but | would not be
surprised to see them, if they win
the Presidency and both Houses
Of Congress in 1920, insist on en-
forcing the Fourteenth amend
ment as to reduction of our rep
resentatives in Congress when
they came to pass the apportion-
ment bill in 1921; and if they do
not do so then, it is practically
certain that they will do SO under

HEED fHE LOGIC OF G. A
LOCKHART

"Your duty is to mould your
silent sympathies into harmon
ious acts. Bold determinations 10
make the most Of your life, with
out actually making every effort
to economic, are as worthless as
a summer breeze Flowers must
be Embedded in the right kind ot

yearns for the cooling touch Of
brotherly love, and the friendly
grasp of q cherished hand, but
for an individual to meet the
tasks of life, and pay his honest
debts, educate and clothe his
precious family these modern
days there must be a standard
type of faithful medium of ex-
change. To shrink from an i'm

cowardice. Your mind and body
were given you to use. Worthless,
purposeless people see only ruin,
trails Of tribulations which ever
way they look. The savings offer

grown to be almost a necessity
in this city. The very essence of
this sale is economy. Thousands

Acting District Vocational Officer
Of the Sixth District, which in
cludes Louisiana, Mississippi and

Every man who has an honor
able discharge and a ten percent
disability may apply for training
and help in securing profitable
employment" said Mr.. Sibley,"
And the disabled man should
have no hesitancy in making ap-
plication to the Federal Board
for such help as we can offer. 1t
is not question of charity, but
simply the mans right; the gov
eminent is trying to pay it's
debt of gratitude to the men who
fought in order that the govern
ment should be preserved"
There are six thousand regis
tered men in the Sixth District
More than 1000 have been approx
ed for training, and great many
have been placed in profitable en-
ployment. Many more have been
placed in schools and colleges in

WARNS PUBLIC AGAINST
DEALERS IN w. s. STAMPS

# you have war saving stamps
and do not care to hold them, 70
to the postoffice and redeem them,
but do not sell them to dealers in
the stamps.
The above is the warning is
sued by Secretary of the Treas
urer Glass, who, in statement
issued a few days ago tells of the
many persons who are dealing
in stamps, which is positively a.
gainst all government orders. He
tells of the instances where the
stamps have been bought up at a
very small price and then turned
in Immediately at the postoffice,
the buyer getting full value for
them. This, he says, is viola
ton of all orders and he gives an
extract from the orders to post
masters which states that they
shall be careful to see that every
person redeeming stamps is re-
deeming ones which were bought
by the person or firm presenting
them.
He also urges persons having
savings stamps to keep them, as
the government needs the funds.
Many persons have had the
wrong impression about these
stamps, and some did not know
that they might be sold at the
postoffice. Many persons do not
realize that they must keep the
stamps in the proper book, and if
lost it cannot be replaced.

While excessive thinness might be at

1t seems to be well established that this

by the use of organic phosphate known

Every tire has embossed on the side
serial number. 1t is important that
the car owner should have a record Of
this number in each case and such rec
ord should be made when the tire is
bought.
A lap robe, a gunny sack, or even
some old newspapers will frequently
be enough to get a car out of deep
sand or mudhole if placed in front of
the rear wheels to provide traction.
In inspecting the springs attention
should be given to the spring hangers
and other subsidiary parts. Lost mo-
ton, usually side play, often develops
in the spring hangers and shackles.
Motorists frequently overload their
storage batteries by the use of cleo
trical accessories not included in the
cars regular equipment and then won
der what's wrong.
Many drivers do not know how to
take the bumps easily. A good way
is to throw out the clutch and apply
the footbrake gradually.
Watch the wires where they faf sel
to the lamps, as the motion of the car
makes them sway and may cause q
break or short circuit.
.
Lack of attention to the way the
rear wheels are running is a source of
subsequent financial loss to aatomo-
bilists.
The total number of cars registered
in all of the states during 1919 will
probably be close to 100000.

Dimensions Of Drum.

A solid piece of oak, about eight
inches in diameter should be turned
out in the shape of cylinder five
inches long. For large cars this may
be; increased in size. Surmount the
drum with a disk, somewhat larger, to
act as a rim, and bore a hole in the
opposite end of the drum just large
enough to fit snugly over the hub Of
the wheel. Then make three arms of
strap iron, large enough to reach a
good way up the spokes Of the wheel.
Bolt these at equal distances around
the circumference of the drum, setting
them in flush.
How Hosting Is Done.
To operate, back the car up until 1t
is near the tackle, and jack up the
wheel upon, which the drum has been
placed. The other wheel must be
blocked so that it will not turn. Give
the hauling rope few turns about
the drum, then apply the power to the
wheel and at the same time pull easily
upon the rope, keeping it taut on the
drum. In this way heavy loads can be
raised that would otherwise be beyond
the ability of one man to handel. B.

Mechanics Magazine.
