The amendment introduced by
Senator Gay has the same first sec
ton as that in the Susan B. Anthony
amendment. The difference comes
in the second section, which does
away with the enabling clause of
the Susan B. Anthony amendment.
1t says:
"Sec. 2. That the several states
shall have the exclusive right to en-
act appropriate legislation to en-
force the provision of this article.

has not been cultivated the officers
of the Land Army are promoting
the principle Of getting as much un-
used land under cultivation as posi-
bic. The tenacre training field will
be used for intensive work - vege-
tables of all sorts will be planted
and the girls will be taught how to
get these ready for sale, as we'll as
how to cultivate them. A small
corn crop will also take up part Of
the farm. One COW will be kept, so
that the farmerettes may learn to
milk. Potatoes are now being cut
for planting.
When vacation time comes for the
girls the Land Army officers will
place them at full time on other
farms, if they choose to spend their
outings that way. Mrs Bertha Tay-
lor Noorhorst will have charge of
the training field in Washington.
Mrs. Voorhorst is the local repre-
sentative of the Woman's Land

Compromise
Amendment Offered

Senator Jones. of New Mexico,
chairman of the Woman Suffrage
Committee of the Senate of the 65th
Congress, introduced an amendment
purposed to compromise between the
Susan B. Anthony draft and that of
Senator Gay. The second section in
this resolution was:
''Sec. 3 The several states shall
have the authority to enforce this
article by necessary legislation, but
if any state shall enforce or enact
any law in conflict Herewith, then
Congress shall not be excluded from
enacting appropriate legislation to
enforce ii"
Just how the suffrage amendment
brought up in the Goth Congress will
be worded is not known. The Re-
publicans, according to report, are
strongly for the Susan B. Anthony
amendment. And a new wording
may cause the loss of votes in both
the House of Representatives and
the Senate.
Democrats who are for suffrage
are eager to have the amendment
passed early in the session, because
two Of the Southern state legisla4
lures will then have the opportunity
Of ratifying this summer. The Geor-
gia Legislature meets in June and
that of Alabama in July.
Most of the sutfragists believe so
firmly that woman suffrage will he
passed soon that they are turning
their interests to other legislation.
Some of them have gone SO far as
to say that woman suffrage as an
issue is dead"

boards since the
influenza epidemic robbed thou
sands of homes of the mother and
homemaker.
Almost any woman can make a
home for her children, given the dol
lars and cents to buy bread and but
ter and shoes; but it takes so much
more than dollars and cents to en-
able father to make a home. Wom-
en- engaged in administering
mothers pensions funds and other
forms of welfare work have found
that funds were totally inadequate
to solve the problem of the father
left a widower with several small
children.
How the problem has been solved
in Westchester County by the wom-
en- of the Westchester County Chill
dren's Association is described by
Miss Lillian A. Quinn, executive
secretary of the association.
"There was the case of Antonio,
the baby whom nobody wanted" !"
said Miss Quinn. "The father died
during the epidemic and the mother
was in hospital. Now, the baby
was miserable, sickly little thing,
unattractive to look upon, and SO
ailing that none of the regular
boarding mothers on our lists
would consent to take it. We could
not blame them. We took the baby
to a hospital, where the doctors
readily admitted it was a sick baby,
but not sick enough, they said, to
occupy a hospital bed when beds
were so scarce. All the baby need
ed, they said, was competent nurs-
ing, such as any intelligent mother
would give it. Next we took it to
an orphans home, but there it was
again refused, because il was too
delicate to take its place with well
children, and the management had
10 power under the law to house
sick children.
There it was, perfectly simple
problem. All this baby needed in
the world was motherly care, and it
was the one thing society could not
give it, apparently.
"Then one of those miracles hap
pened. We discovered a real mother,
~Qne of those great, warm-hearted
women who cannot endure the
thought of baby's suffering. She

New Method Used
BY Sufragists

In the last week of the 65th Con-
gress new tack was taken by the
suffragists which might have been
successful in winning the one vote
then needed for a two-thirds major
ity in the Senate had it been started
earlier. The Susan B. Anthony
draft of the woman suffrage amend
ment was reintroduced by Senator
Wesley Jones, of Washington. Then
three other workings of the suffrage
amendments were referred to the,
committee before the week was out.
One of these was introduced by Sen
ator Gay, of Louisiana, who had
voted against the Susan B. Anthony
amendment February 10. 1t is be-
lieved that Senator Gay may vote
for woman suffrage in the next ses-
sion if the wording of the amend
ment follows the lines he indicated
in the resolution he introduced.
The Susan B. Anthony amend
ment, the woman suffrage amend
ment which passed the House of Rep
resentatives January, 1918, and was
defeated in the Senate by only one
vote February 10, 1919, reads:
Sec. /. The right of citizens OF
