lHlF.FWDENT FACTS !.
SHOULD Be CONVINCING

The Equal Suffrage league Of Rich
mond has many red letter days to
record, but none more worthy the
title than that OF yesterday when Mics
Mary Shaw. OF the Otis Skinner COM
pany addressed its regular weekly
meeting.
II was born a suffragist." said Miss
Shaw. land therefore do not ever
feel that I can present the subject as
convincingly as a convert, for the best
speeches on any subject are made by
those who have gone through the river
dead the issue of suffrage seems to
us in New York. when I come to a
state still torn by the question and
am asked to make an address on the
subject. | feel as though 7 were being
asked to speak on the feuda1 system,
and that must read up on II.
Anyone who today attempts to de-
lay the coming OF equal suffrage. might
just as well try tn stand still and
push back the Atlantic ocean. I'm
afraid ! haven't much patience with
people who can't see seIf-evident facts.
anu THIS fact OF Suffrage as as tnev1t-
able as anything can be.
Ever since Virginia ratified the
constitution of the United States this
has been inevitable and II will be so
mean to the women of the South IL
their men attempt to block its adop-
ton. Every southern woman we have
had working with us in the north
has had political mind. nothing
holds her hack, and / am sure that
southern men are far too chivalrous
IN proclaim to the world that they
do not trust their women as the wo-
men of other sections arc trusted.
Suffrage is merely the step to n
larger field or service for woman, the
opportunity for her to give to the
world that capacity for motherhood
inherent In her: and II will open the
way for the development OF that ca
pacity for sisterhood and comrade-
ship which has hitherto lain dormant
Tor Lack OF opportunity TO exercise It"
Mrs James J. Pollard who was
chairman Of the afternoon. made a
charming introduction which caused
Miss Shaw 10 say that she had listened
to so many pleasant introductions that
she almost believed some Of the
things that were said about her.

and it works in connection with
the condition of the cow, how
long she has been fresh, the con-
dition of the pasture and the
season of the year.
Z. Temperature of the milk.
Low temperature causes thin
cream and milk should not be
separated under IS degrees and
preferably just as soon as it is
milked.
8. Improper sampling and in
accurate testing. This some
times happens but it is never
intentional with an honest man.
A man exercises poor Judge
ment when he blames any
change in the test to the tester
alone without carefully consider
ing the first seven points, and he
reaches the height of indecency
when he cusses and fumes about
the inaccurate work of the
tester until he has positive
proof for his assertions.

ming are all uniformly done

out what the trouble might be.
Years of experience show that
the change in the test is due to
some of the following causes, and
among them l am putting the
pet hobby, that it is the tester.
!. Loose cream screw. You
say you haven't changed it, but
lots of things change and we do
not know it. 1t is best to be
sure about this point before
going too far. I.
z. Change in the speed of
machine. Again you say that
cannot be, but as matter of
TACT you never turn the sepa-
rator twice alike and some night
when you are tired you get the
machine speeded up well, and
then gradually slack up uncons-
ciously.
). Machine not level or solid.
This results in poor skimming
and test.
4. Amount of milk in the sup
ply tank. You say the float re-
gulates that, but not so much as
you think. The more milk in
the supply tank, the greater the
pressure on the float and the
more milk gets into the SEPARATOR
bowl per minute and results in
lower test.
S. Flushing the bowl. Some
