PAULA,
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO
 ABOUT IT.?

Dear Social Corner Sisters: The
 people throughout the entire world are
 giving more thought and considera-
 ton to the duties of citizenship than
 perhaps at any other period of the
 worlds history. They are studying
 conditions in local state and national
 government. Uppermost in tll~-..
 tions throughout the wc,}i
 The power and respo.l q. F. .i.
 with the people.
 The question put to me Ut long :, 20
 was: Don't you think that {; wa,il1 |, duty is in the home? Ti,2t ei:e r,,,lia know just where her children are. Or. if away from home. writt to t5,en, regularly, expecting their full confi- dence in return? I certainly do, and happy the mother who has such mod el children. But I'd like to ask that
 mother one question and it includes all mothers The question is this: In the event of full franchise being granted women in Connecticut and it's coming, of course, what are you, as a Christian mother going to do to bene- l fit the children you have so carefully i reared? You have the vote. What is your duty, viewed from this stand l point?
 I have such confidence in you and L 1 realizing all this you will be made a voter, go to the polls, cast your vote. which will take you hardly ten min 1 utes, go back to your home. prepare 1 your dinner, happy in the assurance | that duty is well and intelligently done
 Considering the unmarried women
 of means who have time and money to ! spend, many of them have been for l years working in the interests of the ! women who are obliged to work, or l ganizing them, teaching them. until now most of the, workers are able, i very able. too. to look out for their 1 own interests.
 1 These women have their place and their work; and fine work they have i done, are doing. and will do; but I hold i and always shall. that the mothers
 ''are the greatest factors in the wo- mans movement" and that their vote i will go much farther in it's influence than will that Of their maiden col ! leagues," for what mother dces stands ! cut as right" with the children. So far as the question of women i holding office is concerned. there are i hundreds of thousands of women tu i Connecticut alone who have signed as : believing in suffrage, and out of tfa1 1 great number only a few fitted to hold ! office: and only few offices to fill; and so, the percentage would be very ] small.
 It is said "The hand that rocks the cradle moves the world" Maybe it does but I do not believe that from ! the presidential chair it will ever sway a nation" but we hope that
 the day is coming when shoulder to ] shoulder we shall stand for all time
 united in thought and action. pressing toward the bettering of conditions
 and the uplife of humanity.

Where Slate Comes From.

It is rather coincidental that while
 he slate quarries at Monson are now run by electricity, motors Of an ag- gregate capacity of 1500-horsepower being used the quarries themselves produce some of the very things that the electrical manufacturers need. A large part of the output now is for switch boards, panels. bases for ap- pliances. tubs. shelves and partitions. The slate produced there is of a su- perior quality for electrical purposes. The slate is in veins or more prop erly beds. which lie in nearly yer tical position, and the productive beds may be no more than 10 to 20 feet wide. The quarries, following
