LAWS EVERY WOMAN
 SHOULD KNOW About Children, Good and Bad

Twelve states include begging among the gainful occupations of children. They legalize it by setting an age limit below which it can not be carried on. This limit ranges from ten to sixteen.
 Three fourths of our working chil- dren labor on the farm, yet no state law effectively protects them. Wo- mems organizations in Colorado and Wyoming have been the first to push for legislation protecting this group of children.
 Poverty is in nine states made an excuse for exploiting the child by cut ting short his education and allowing him to enter industry below the age set for other children. Oklahoma, Ohio and Montana provide scholar ships for this group of children, in- stead of driving them prematurely into industry.
 Minnesota sets the highest compul- sorry education standard (1S years). The standard in Virginia is as low as twelve.
 Missouri is one of the few states which still recognizes common law marriages. As this state sets no mini mum legal age for marriage, boy or girl of twelve may without their pa- rents' consent, live together as man and wife.
 A few drops of silver nitrate at birth would prevent about 15 per cent of the blindness in our institutions through ophthalmia neonatorum. Yet more than half the states still after many years agitation have no law requiring it's use by physicians and nurses.
 Montana sets the highest minimum age (16 years) at which child is allowed to work.

WOMEN WILL VOTE FOR
 PRESIDENT IN TWENTY-EIGHT STATES

Twenty states have granted the women in their states the right to vote for president. Fifteen of these states are full suffrage states, two of them are primary suffrage states and twelve of them have con- ferred presidential suffrage through a statutory act of their legislatures.
 Eight of the twelve presidential suffrage states have granted presi- dential suffrage since January, 1919. The Indiana legislature was the leader in this movement, having passed a presidential suffrage bill in the first week of it's organization. Indiana is one of those unfortunate states which would gladly give it's women full suffrage but is unable to constitution which will not permit amendment. Maine, Minnesota, Mis- souri, Wisconsin, Tennessee, and Iowa have, during the past three months, followed Indiana's example
 Tennessee gave municipal as well as presidential suffrage, thus making a significant break in the old legend of the "Solid South," by becoming the first southern state east of the Mis- sissippi to confer so large measure of suffrage upon it's women.
 As the figures now stand, the states in which women will vote for presi- dent in 1920 carry BOP electoral votes. There are 531 electoral votes in all. This means that the electoral votes from non-suffrage states will be in the minority. The significance of this fact is appreciated when one recalls the close presidential elections of the past few years.
 The number of presidential electors increased by four when the question in Vermont is settled. The suffrage victory in Vermont has been jeopar- dized by the governors veto of the legislatures grant of presidential suf- frage. His veto is at present under challenge.

CONGRATULATIONS TO
 GEORGIA!

Congratulations are in order for Georgia, especially for it's capital city, Atlanta. The Executive Committee of that city has just granted women the right to vote in city primaries. Thus does Georgia, a famous "solid south" state get ahead of Connecticut.
 It is expected that Georgia may also have the distinction of being the first state to ratify the Federal Suf- frage Amendment since it is one of the few states that has summer legislative session. We are glad to announce this victory for Georgia but we are sorry to add that it means re- turning to Georgia one of our valu- able field secretaries who has assidu- ously interviewed, organized, cam vassed, (and walked 999.9 miles to do it-her pedometer says sol in New London County this last winter.
 We are sorry to lose Miss Sally Fanny Gleaton but we are glad to send her on to do as valuable work as organizing the women of Atlanta for registration for the spring cleo tions. She leaves Connecticut May 15.

MRS. SCHOONMAKER MAKES
 WESTERN TOUR

Mrs. Nancy M. Schoonmaker, executive secretary of the Citizenship Department of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association, left Hartford Friday for a two weeks speaking tour in middle western states.
 Her engagements include addresses before suffrage and civic organiza- tions in Milwaukee, Minnesota, Chi cago, St. Louis, and probably Louis vile, Kentucky.
 In Milwaukee, Mrs. Schoonmaker will speak at a citizenship luncheon together women in Wisconsin who are interested in securing an intelligent electorate for their state and country.
 The occasion for her Minneapolis speech is the Hennepin County annual suffrage convention. Here, as at other places, Mrs. Schoonmaker will present "The Connecticut Idea" of working out citizenship classes which aim not only to instruct foreigners, but to "Americanize Americans"
 Mrs. Schoonmaker's work in Con- necticut has come to have state wide renown and her book, "The Actual Government of Connecticut" is being placed in many high schools in the state.
 Mrs. Schoonmaker has given the series of lectures incorporated in her book, in practically every large city and town in the state, including Hart ford, Bridgeport, New London, Man chester, Norwich, Stamford, Deep River, New Britain, Newtown, Ridge field, and Greenwich.
 The citizenship committee of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Associa- tion which has been assisting Mrs. Schoonmaker includes Miss Caroline

GEMS FROM THE CAPITOL

After one of the suffrage hearings attended by the antis, an employee who cleaned the hall was noticed wearing one of their badges, tiny pink bow. Don't you believe women should vote e?" we promptly asked anti badger" "Anti? Off it goes! ] didn't know it was badge; I just thought it was a bow"
 The young man employed to lobby for the antis had access to the legis- lators' coat-rooms, waiting rooms, and offices, and freely sat with them at their desks in both House and Senate We, waiting in the corridors, one day said to him, "You have great advan- cannot "Well," he replied reflect when once you get them. They won't listen to me more than half a minute"
 In addition to. clerks, chaplains. speakers, and reporters, 293 legisla- tors were given weekly or bi-weekly suffrage bulletins 24 times. Gener- ally these were laid on their desks, but on several occasions special news was mailed to the home of each legis- lator. The printing was usually done at Headquarters, as well as the mailing.
 The Cafeteria people insisted on tacking our bulletins on their wall. So the legislators had to eat suffrage as we'll as to read it and meet it around every turn in the corridor.
 When men who had committed mur- der, arson, rape, and burglary came before the Forfeited Rights Commit tee to ask reinstatement as citizens, this was the final anxious question always put to them, "If your citizen ship is returned to you will you use your vote?" When the man said ives" the argument was clinched. Every man who applied, except one whose legal residence was in New York, was reinstated by the legisla- ture without dissenting voice.
 Why did the Senate vote down the Presidential Suffrage bill on May 1st! No one of the opposition offered a single argument against it. Earnest, impassioned speeches were made in it's behalf.
 Miss Ludington sent letters of thanks to the 125 representatives and IT senators who voted for the presl- dential bill. The cooperation and valuable help of many deserve our sincere gratitude.
 The papers say that Representative Martin L. Caine, a recent convert, who made splendid and stirring address in our behalf, and Senator Heald, who cast the final suffrage vote in the Senate, were remembered with suffrage dolls on the last day when presents were exchanged. Rep resentative Caine accepted the doll with open arms, and felicitously replied "this is my adopted child".
 Sufragist greets anti-suffrage man in the corridors, "Well, we are still here."
 Anti-suffragist, "Ahem! Are you always still here?"

There used TO be a saying about
the British in war that they would al
ways "muddle thru" This seems to
apply in this last war to the Ameri-
cans. With all our country's vast re-
sources, it was so unprepared and
ill-organized that the millions we sent
to France took but little more than
brave hearts, sinewy hands and quick
thinking American heads. They drove
back the Huns because they know
they could and were determined they
would. Not until last summer was
half over did their equipment begin
to arrive in suficiency. The criticisms
of the war department were pretty
well founded, tho the war depart
ment doubtless did the best it could.
Will the American people ever allow
their country to become so defense
less again.

of the Punta Gorda Herald, peril
nently says: "The proposition to re-
move the capital to Ocala is all right.
This writer suggested and advocated
it over thirty years ago, and his adj
vocacy of it induced Col. Thomas w.
Harris, now dead, to start in Ocala
a newspaper called the New Capitol.
The location of the capital at Talla-
hassee is simply ridiculous. Remove
it, or divide the state. The House had
the courage. patriotism and good
sense to pass law taxing dogs So a
year for the protection of sheep and
the benefit of the school fund. Any
dog that is not worth So year to its
owner, ought to be killed; and any
dog owner who is unwilling to con-
tribute So a year to the support of
the public schools, is not patriotic"

little if any better off than the French

They suffered. in fact, great hardship.
