Miss Ludington's Address
 At Suffrage Convention
Urges Women to Join Parties If They Have Clear Party Convictions Explains Relation of Work
 of Association in Obtaining Vote.

Before a, closed session of the con- Vent1on of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage association this afternoon, Katherine Ludington gave the presi- dents annual message. Her address was followed by a discussion of the political policy to be pursued by the association.
 In part Miss Ludington said as fol- lows
 T have no carefully built up and logically arranged message to bring you this year. I want, instead, to suggest a few considerations which believe should govern us in planning and carrying out our work for the coming year.
 First, as to the general temper in which<an the problems which this country is facing should be tackled
 T believe that at the present time we are suffering even more deeply from a wrong frame of mind that we are from the actual condition of the body social,-no matter how sick it may seem to be.
 T don't deny that there are ques- ttons of tremendous seriousness to be settled, but if they could be ap- preached by a large enough number of Americans in a mood of modera- t1on, open mindedness, patience, and mutual respect and charity, there is onthing that is inso1uble.
 Our greatest danger at the present time is from the extremists of both colors-radica1 and reactionary. If we could hold together all the mod crate conservatives, the moderate rad 3cals, the liberals, and all the shades and grades of opinion between, who should say We will respect each other and will study to solve our problems by the methods of sanity, open discussion and scientific study instead of the methods of violence and force. We should have a great cen tral group which would crowd the ex- tremists out to the edge where they could do little harm.
 Instead of this, there is the dang CT that we may let ourselves get into such a worried tense, harassed frame of mind that our judgment Is cloud ed. We are liable to let panic take the place of courage and clear-head- edness-and panic is always cruel and ugly
 We must keep our sense of pro- portion in regard to the questions of the day and the relation of our own particular question to all of them,
 Tt was hard to keep this relation clear during the war and many just settled 1t off hand by saying that we should drop suffrage and do noth- ing but what was roughly known as war work.
 Other women and men with long CT vision saw that suffrage and the war issues were so closely knit that they couldn't be distangled-and so : they kept both kinds of work going i together.
 Should we remain entirely inde- | pendent and join no party organiza- tion until we have the vote? Or l should We join now?
 My answer would be that if any woman is clear in her mind as to | her party convictions, let her join a 1 party-but let her use her position in that party organization to stead fly, persistently demand that 1t do its utmost toward getting women to vote.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-11-13

I You may be able to do more fol suffrage within a party organization | than outside it. Keep your sense o1 proportion and remember that not only plain self-respect but your de sire to help your party demands thai you should get a vote as soon as pos sibIe
 l Now what is the relation of all o1 1 the rest of our work to this simple 1 question of getting the vote?
 We are preparing to complete the 1 building of a state organization which may in the fture be a non-partisan 1 civic organizations League of | Women Voters.
 l Obviously, this is important from 1 the point of view of getting the vote. It is the main tool we have to work l with-the bigger and better our or ganization the greater our power. Both to get the vote and to use it our organization should be developed to the highest degree.
 We are developing a department of citizenship to train women to use the vote intelligently and to start them on local civic work What should be the relation of this work
 
 It should be the relation of the cart to the horse-they go along together but the horse comes first! Don't get into the frame of mind that you say to yourself-"Oh, the vote is going to come some day-and it is pretty hard work getting it in Connecticut, so I believe I will just specialize on learning how to use it'' In other words, so far as your work is concerned, you don't care if you ever have a vote to use! It is like studying trained nursing but never taking a step toward getting pa tient.
 Some women would like to sit comfortably the rest of their days studying how to be citizens-but to get into all the mess and bother of winning the vote-or really using it to some effect afterwards-that is too much like real work.
 We are going heart and soul into our citizenship training workout We are doing it because it's helps us, in the first place toward getting the vote-and in the second place, to- ward making a real and effestive use of it We hope by our citizenship department to turn out women of purpose and practical information not paper limitations of citizens.
 "Our thoughts tomorrow will be turned toward the band of brave women, women built in a large mold, who fifty years ago inaugur- ated this work.
 Doesn't 1t seem a strange thing that now after fifty years of courage and effort, when we are on the very eve of success, when there is just one fight more, The best and the last there should be some women who are ready to quit!
 But, Of course, we shall not quit and tomorrow, when the spirit of those women is especially with us, we snail pledge ourselves to carry on until the fifty year struggle is then We shall start on Q new stretch of the Journey; with few illusions, perhaps, but with a good 1 and noble purpose"

MEDICINES USED BY MONKS

It Is claimed that Monks Of ancient days knew of more than three hun- dred species of medicinal plants used in general for medicines by these re- 1igious orders. While centuries have passed, with all the advance made in medical science. many of our most successful remedies are today made from the roots and herbs of the field like that good, o1d-fashfoned remedy.

THE YAzoo MYSTERY. BY 1rvins

Another story of the good old
kind, in which the stern parent
disinherits the prodigal youngster,
who then goes out into the cold
cruel world and proceeds to spite
the old gentleman by making good.
All the time, unknown to the prodi-
gal, the eye of the stern parent
is on him, and in the hour of need,
in most orthodox fashion of this
kind OF story, the S. p. reaches
out a helping hand, and all is for
given and everybody is happy ever
after.
Just why the author finds 1t nee
essary to torpedo ship to Introduce
the principal characters to each
other is a mystery much more baf-
fling than the mystery about which
the story is written, which is not
so very much of a mystery, either.
No doubt there are people who will
read his book with enjoyment,
people who Ike to feel they are as
smart as the author. and just know
how everything is going to turn out.
But the reader who reads a detec-
tive story To be puzzled, and doesn't
care to know how 1t. is going to

When we had tried and ordered
all the things Virginia had sur-
gested, Miss Emily fitted down over
my head a little turban of henna
colored Batavie, casting a critical
eye over my blue serge as she did
so, and remarking. "You really
mustn't go without this. 1t brings

fully, and 1t dresses up the little
frock you're wearing"
"She's lovely In that. YOU'RE q
genius. Emily. Now be a dear and

ginia.
Miss Emily took up pencil and
paper and did some impressive fip-
uring. Then she looked up with
the air of one conveying a great
favor.
"Only nine seventy-five," she said.
