Women Voters of
Texas Organize

San Antonio, Tex, Oct. 9.-The
Texas Equal Suffrage Franchise As
scciation, in final session here to-
day, decided to dissolve and become
the Texas League of Women Voters
and to continue it's activities along
lines tending to better educational
conditions. This association will
also launch campaign toward bet
terment of women and child labor
conditions.
One of the most important tasks
selected by the body is that of prom
ulgating higher Americanization
standards in schools of the state and
foreigners, both in the rural dis
tricts and in large cities. =
1t is the sense of the leaders to
rather cooperate with male voters
than to assume separate activities in
political matters. Payment of poll
taxes by women is advocated, one of
the benefits to be derived outside of
the franchise being the increase of
revenues which would go into free
school funds and be the means of in
creasing the present low salaries pair
school teachers in Texas.
The convention, which opened here
Thursday, will close Saturday with
the election of officers.

MARSHALL PUTS
STOP TO Senate
DEMONSTRATIONS
Vice-President Rebukes Those
Who Applauded Attack
OH League.

Washington, Oct. ga quick, bark
ing command from Vice President
Marshall at the conclusion late TO-DAY
of a dramatic appeal by senator
Walsh, democrat, of Massachusetts,
for "a league of nations that would
do Justice to the oppressed nations OF
the world" and for reservations to
the pending league covenant, broke UP
in it's very beginning, a demonstra--
ton that threatened for moment
to sweep through the senate galier-
les.
For more than an hour senators
and visitors had listened lntently to
the address, and as Senator W alssA
laid down the last page OF his manu-
SCRIPT. and with arms raised hlgh,
pleaded against approval OF the
Shanturg settlement, and the dam
gers lurking IN article l0' OF the
league covenant "a FAINT ripple Oh
applause was instantly followed oy a
more pronounced outpurst.
But 1t was as quickly subdued. Inc
strldent voice OF the vice president
was heard above the rising am.
Remove from the gaiIerles Uhose
who have violated the rules OF the
senate" the vice president shouted,
at which gallery guards, apparently
beWlldered, endeaVored TO suppress
the growing desire OF many persons
to make known their approval or the
Massachusetts senator's views, with
hands and feet. In the confusion,
which spread to the floor, feW Of
tenders were hustled out.
The motion to adjourn was held up
after Republican Leader Lodge had
made it, the vice president explaining
that he wanted to find out first
what the senate was going to DO ABOUT
the violation of it's standing rule
against applause.
When Senator Lodge, a moment
later renewed his motion, Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska, leading the
democratic fight for treaty raUlflca-
ton, Jumped TO his feet with de-
mand for the ayes and nays.
There had been no intlmatlon that
the democrats were preparing to put
the majority party on record IN the
matter of fixing a time for daily ad-
journment, and the demand added
to the general excitement.
The bells called senator's to the
chamber, and on the count the motion
prevailed, SO to IS. 1t followed party
lines, except that Senator Reed, demo-
crat of Missouri, back today from a
speaking trip against the treaty in
the west, voted with the republicans.
The speech of Senator Walsh, the
third of the day, drew large at
tendance and because of the uncer-
tainty as to where he stood, he re-
ceived undivided attention. He quick
ly cleared away all doubt, however,
and frankly announced his regret at
parting with his democratic colleagues
in voting for treaty reservations, and
in so doing declared he was not
breaking away from his party prin-
ciples.

Miss Charl Williams, Speaker at the
Coming State Convention of Teachers,
Is One of Leading Educators of Nation

Little Rock, Oct. 9.-Miss Charl o.
Williams OF Memphis, superinten-
dent of the Shelby county (lenn.) ru-
raj schools, Is to be one OF the prln-
opal speakers before the state
/ eachers Association, which viii
meet in Little Rock October 20 to
November l. ms Is the simplest
way in which this announcement can
be made, for MISS Williams holds
and t1lls-not less than 10 or a. doz-
en- very important positions, several
of them of national Importance, and
the mere list of her titles would
make long paragraph.
She will be listened to with es-
pecial interest by the teachers of Ar
kansas for two reasons; first, she
receives and earns the highest sal
AIRY paid to any county superlntend-
ent III the United States, 1t is said,
and second, the United States Bu-
reau of Education has publicly an
nounced that as an efficient county
superintendent of rural schools she
has only one competitor in the way
or efficiency. He is Lee Driver OF
Indiana.
Practical Politician.
Miss Williams is now serving her
third term as county superintendent
-vand the length of term in Tennes-
see is four years. At the last cleo
ton she was renamed by acclama
ticn. Her knowledge OF practical
politics is such that she is at pres
ent the member for the state of Ten
nessee of the National Democratic
Committee. She is secretary of the
of superintendent of the
National Education Association, and
is likely to be president of that ma

Dandruff Heads
Become Hairless

If you want plenty of thick, beau
tiful, glossy, silk hair do by all
means, get rid of dandruff, for 1t will
starve your hair and ruin it if you
don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then you destroy it en-
tirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; APP
ply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and three
or four more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it..
You will find, too, that all itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop, and your hair will look and feel
hundred times better. You can
get liquid arvon at any drug store. 1t
! is inexpensive and four ounces is all
you will need, no matter how much
dandruff you have. This simple
remedy never fails. Adv.

tional body of teachers next year, al
ready having the active support OF
the entire South, and of the agricul
tural and rural interests as well.
1t is as an educator that Miss Will
liams is best known. She has built
up the rural schools of her county I'M
til the inefficient one-room school
building has been almost entirely
abandoned in favor of large CONSOLE
dated schools all of them country
schools, however.
Helps Rural School.
Twenty motor trucks and more
than 40 large wagonettes are used in
transporting the school children to
and from school, SO that although the
roads of Shelby county are far from
perfect the children get to school ev-
rey day and get there on time. She
has four white supervisors working
under her in the rural schools, each
getting larger salary than coun-
ty superintendent in Arkansas, and
four negro supervisors, each getting
what is thought large salary for
supervision in this state. No one of
her rural school, no matter how far
back in the country, has a teacher
with less preparation than normal
course OF two years above high school
graduation, and her teachers salar-
les have been raised more than a
third in the past two years.
Miss Williams will speak before
the section devoted to the interests of
rural teachers on Friday afternoon,
October 81, and at the general session
that night.
Miss Williams is a sister of Mrs.
John Wilbourne of this city.

Chicago, Oct Evidently the Sos
thought Pitcher Eller was mutilating
the ball to make it hop freakishly
for on numerous occasions they re-
quested Umpire Nallin to examine it
But after looking at it, Nallin tossed
the ball back to "Hod."
The crowd was generous in its ap-
plause to Eller, former SoX castoff
Remembering his three-hit victory in
the game last Monday, the crowd
gave him an ovation every time he
came to bat. He responded once
with a single.
The Reds batted around in the
first inning and every player on the
team faced the SoX pitchers in the
sixth, but Rariden, who had two balls
on him, was turned back from the
plate when Kopf was caught stealing
second.
In spectacular fielding, Eddie
Rousch, the Reds center fielder, car.
ried off the honors of the series. Ir
the first game of the series with Gin
cinnati, he went into extreme cente,
and made circus catch that the
baseball experts branded as barely
possible. Today he electrified the
crowd by racing for Liebold's liner in
the ninth, catching it in a headlone
plunge and turning completely over
/ Liebold thrilled the crowd in the
fourth when he made perfect throw
from mid-center field, after fielding
Daubert's single and nailed Eller com.

his gameness by sliding into the plate

SEND PROTEST

SAY NEGROES 90 NOT WANT
HALF FREEDOM. ASK FOR
INVESTIGATION IN RECENT
RIOTS
lBy Associated Negro Pressl

New York. Oct, designs of the
times are discernible in a memorial
which has been sent to Congress
by six Negro bishops Of the. African
Methodist Episcopal Church. Peti-
tioning for a Congressional inquiry
into the recent race riots in Washing
ton, Chicago and Knoxville, the bish-
ops warned Congress that the temp
er of the Negro of today is not what
it was a half century or a score
of years ago and that death is pref
erable to a state half way between
slavery and freedom
In their memorial the bishops to
illustrate their warning, quote poem
which is deemed to significant in
view of the frequent assertions that
have been made concerning the cir
culation of Bolshevist and other rad
ical propaganda among Negroes. The
poem, printed in the September is
sue of magazine published by Ne
groes in this city, is titled, "If We
Must Die" and reads as follows:
'If We must die let it not be like
hogs hunted and penned in an un-
glorious spot while round us bark
the mad hungry dogs, making their
mock at our accursed lot. If we
must die, oh, let us nobly die, So
that our precious blood may not be
shed in vain; Then even the mon
sters we defy shall be constrained
to honor us, though dead. Oh, Kins-
men, we must meet the common foe.
Though far outnumbered, let us still
be brave, and for their thousand
blows deal one death blow what
though before us lies the open grave
like men we'll face the murderous,
cowardly pack pressed to the wall,
dying, but fighting back"

lay officials of the church comprise

Houston, Texas, Oct. 16.-Mrs. +.

as, which was organized in Houston,
Texas, Aug, 1918, and who enjoys
the distinction of having been the
first woman Of her race in Texas,
to have been appointed Notary Pub
lie by a Governor of Texas, issues
the following statement in support
of the payment of the Poll Tax by
both women and men.
The Legislature of Texas has wise
iy given to women a right of fran
chise, a right to vote. A District
Judge in Waco, Texas, has recently
refused to disturb this Legislature
Act. There is much that can be said
in favor of Woman Suffrage and
against Woman Suffrage. Personally,
1 believe the greater weight Of argu-
ment to be in favor of Woman Suf-
frage. Whatever may be said, 1t is
fact that plain law of Texas is
that women shall have the right to
vote in all primary elections and con-
ventions alike and equal to men.
Keeping a law is the best way to
have a law enforced. The law re-
quires each woman and man to ap-
pear before the State and County
Tax Collector and pay for a Poll
Tax receipt or secure an examina-
ton certificate. This must be done

Providence, r. l., Oct. 16.-Col. Chas.
Young, U. S. A., the highest ranking
officer of his race in this country,

war, but reassigned to active duty,

Race unity.
The Colonel, who is a graduate Of
West Point, has represented his coun-

years in Africa and absorbed much
information, at first hand, about the
Negroes of the world. He declared
that the Negro has glorious history,
and is not child race, but was civ
ilized before coming to America in
slave ships 300 years ago.
He made no direct reference to the
Omaha rioting, nor any other racial
troubles in this country in his ad-
dress at the auditorium but did say
that law has been laid low and de-
cency is dead in some places in this
country, and that it behooves every
American citizen, however well he
may know how to throw bombs, train
cannon, pull triggers to exhaust
every possible peaceful expedient be-

the audience especially the returned
service men of whom. there were
