SUFFRAGE ADVANCING

In the rush of other news las,
week one important item wa.
overlooked. The Maine leeis
lature ratified the woman suffrage
amendment to the national con
stitution. In the senate the, vote
was "a to 5; in the house. u Is s.
A remarkable small margin, this,
but enough.
This makes nineteen states that
have ratified the anlendment--to
name them in order, Illinois. Wis
consin, Michigan, Kansas. New
York, Ohio, PENNSYLVANIA, Mas
sachusets, Texas, Iowa, Missouri.
Arkansas, Montana, Nebraska
Minnesota, New Hampshire, Utah
California, Maine. As will be
seen, these states represent ev-
cry section Of the country save
the south Atlantic coast. New
England, middle states. gulf states
central states, mountain states.
Pacific states-all are represented
IN the favorable roll call: but the
coast from the Potomac to Kew
West Is conspicuous by it's alb
sence.
Only one state so far has re-
Jected the amendment Alabama.
Seventeen more must accept it
before II becomes operative. With
the help of a liberal assortment
of special sessions of the leeis-
latures, the women NAV vet be

year. They have overcome far
greater obstacles than any which

Is the Lever food and fuel control

the government acquires its DOW

which are affected by the contin-

National Forest Area Reduced

signed a proclamation eliminating 81.
10 acres from the Helena national for
est, Montana. Phe lands affected are
situated along the exterior boundaries
OF the forest and a large portion of the
lands excluded are already in private
ownership.
This action is based on the recon.
mendation made by the secretary Of
agriculture as a result of the land clas.
sification done by the forest service.
1t was found that the lands had prac.
tically no value for national forest
purposes.
