TTERE a few questions the people Of Delaware and
II the other states expect the President TO answer be-
fore he concludes his tour Of the country:
In providing means Of Withdrawal from the league
why not clear-cut provision inserted that nation
may Withdraw at the expiration Of two years notice?
II the language in the covenant which provides that
member nations international obligations must be full
filled before it Withdraw not mean what it says
why was it included at ail9
Why should such countries as Liberia Cuba and
Panama for whose very existence he United states is
responsible be given equal vote in the assembly with
this nation?
Why the secretary Of the league given power to
appoint all his subordinates? AS he Englshmen
the national nclnatons Of the leagues personnel
be pretty accurately forecast?
SO America is concerned would not the proceed
ings OF league at Geneva, 5000 miles away be prac-

Does Article 10 Of the covenant specifically obli-
gate this country to protect the territory Of all other
member nations?
Under the terms OF Article II cannot any incident
either foreign or domestic be called to the attention Of
the league by single nation the ground that it
threatens to disturb the peace?
What there in any paragraph OF the covenant that
specifically to the United States the right to

the pulley attachment, taking the
place of the twenty-horsepower motor
for a few minutes.

SHORTAGE OF REFRIGERAToR
CARS

A communication received by the
Marion County Board of Trade from
the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad
gives notice of expected thortage in
refrigerator cars, and a possible ina
bility to handle the citurs fruit move.
ment in this state. The notice which
is of considerable Importance to the
shippers of citrus fruits is as follows:
Owing to the increased demand for
refrigerator cars, it is anticipated
that there will be serious difficulty
in supplying sufficient refrigerators TO
protect loading requirements for cit
rus fruit and other perishable COM
modities originating on the Atlantic
Coast Line. Every effort will be made
to protect this situation but even with
our best efforts in that direction, IT
will be necessary for the refrigerator
car supply to be conserved in every
possible way.
Estimates indicate that the citrus
fruit movement viii be considerably
heavier than last year. The muve-
ment so far, has been comparatively
light, but it is expected that there will
be heavy increase between now and
the Holidays, which will continue
throughout the shipping season. In
order to meet this movement, we beg
to suggest to shippers.
1st. To utilize ventilated box cars
for short haul shipments, or for long
haul shipments to points outside OF
the cold weather areas, utilizing rerig-
orator cars only where the conditions
surrounding the shipments demand
the protection of that type of car.
End. To utilize full safe carrying
capacity of equipment. The average
load per refrigerator car last season
was approximately $50 boxes. It has
been demonstrated that it is practi.
cable to load 432 boxes of citrus I'm
F. G. E. refrigerator cars. II is esti-
mated that there are at least 5000.
900 boxes of citrus fruit TO be moved
from Florida. With an average load
of $50 boxes per car. 22,222 cars will
be required to move the crop. BY in-
creasing the load the per car to 432
boxes the crop can be moved with
1858 cars, a saving of S,7O4 cars for
the seasons movement.
The cooperative OF shippers is
earnestly solicited to utilize the full
safe carrying capacity of refrigerator
cars, and to aviod calling for refriger-
ator cars when ventilated box cars
will serve the same purpose.

MOTHERHOOD AND POLITICS

Lady Astor, Great Britains first
woman member of the House of Com.
mons, is the mother of six children,
and proud of it. Her notable cam
paign and triumphant election is a
complete answer to the oft-repeated
claim that public office and participa.
ton in public affairs is entirely out
side the prerogative of mothers. The
favorite theme of the defenders of a
man-made government is that wom
ans place is the home and motherhood
forever chains woman to domestic du.
ties and bars them from public life,
especially office holding. Yet Lady
Astor, the proud mother of six chill
dren, smashes all traditions, and smil-
ingly makes the first breach in the
British citadel.
Instead of being bar to useful pub.
lie service motherhood should better
fit women for true vision of the pub
lie needs. The time has gone when
ridicule can successfully answer the
claim put forth by women for partici-
patton in public affairs. Mothers have
a super claim, for they are first to
suffer, the first to weep and the first
10 mourn when nations are afflicted
with unrighteousness and injustice.

mothers New York Herald.
