ment. II twelve of the fifteen do not

twenty -one States from participation
in the Presidential election OF 1920.
For
Seventeen States have ratified the
amC EG ment
Legislatures in three other States
will meet in special session TO ratify
the amendment.
Four other States will ratify the
amendment in regular session this
winter.
That makes a total of twenty-four
States ratifying the measure-twelve
short OF the thirty-six needed.
The prospective women voters must
induce twelve of the fifteen governors
to call special sessions or lose their
chance TO vote for President next
fall.
The fifteen governors obstructinc
the advance of suffrage are:
+. ID. Boyle, Nevada: J. B. Robert

favor the amendment. All others say
they do. But each OF the fifteen re-
fuses to call a special session for rati-

Dakota and Maine have promised to
call special sessions within the next
few weeks.

Legislatures OF the fifteen States in
question do not meet in regular ses-
sion until 1921 and unless special ses-
slons are called the full woman vote

the next election in 1924.
States already having ratified the
amendment are: Wisconsin. Michigan,
Kansas. Ohio, New York. Illinois.
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts. Texas.
Iowa. Missouri, Arkansas. Montana.
Nebraska. Minnesota, New Hampshire
and Utah
I'VE have so completely satisfied
ourselves that the amendment will be
ratified that We have quit trying to
make more converts to suffrage and
are devoting our time to bringing
pressure on these governors to force
them to call special sessions" said
Miss Alice Paul. chairman Of the
National Woman's party. by exert
ing pressure from above and below we
hope to squeeze these governors into
submission
Since the fight for ratification started
President Wilson, Secretary Daniels,
Attorney General Palmer and National
Committee Chairman Cummings have
urged Democratic governors to ratify
the amendment. Charles D. Hills.
VIII Hayes and Simeon Tess and other
Republican leaders have urged the Re
publican governors to call special ses-
sions. The Republican governors
whose States have ratified have wired
other Republican governors whose
States haven't ratified to do so, and
Democratic governors have taken SIM
liar action.

A Visit to Washington. Birth place.

Visit To "ashingtOn's Birth place.

DEAR KERMIT:
On Saturday afternoon mother ana
l started or on the Sylph. mother
having made up her mind l needed
thirty-six hours rest. and We had a
delightful time together. and she was
just as cunning as she could be, On
Sunday mother and spent about four
hours ashore. taking our lunch and
walking UP to the monument which
marks where the house stood in which
Washington was born. 1t is a simple
shaft. Every vestige of the house is
destroyed. but a curious and rather
pathetic thing is that. although il
must be a hundred years since the
place was deserted. there are still
multitudeS of flowers which must
have come from those in the old gar
den. There are iris and narcissus and
a little blue flower, with a neat. prim.
clean smell that makes one feel as II
1t ought to be put with lavender into
chests of fresh old linen. The mar
cissus in particular was growing
around everywhere. together with real
wild flowers like the painted column
bine and Star Of Bethlehem. 1t was a
lovely spot on a headland overlooking
broad inlet from the Potomac.
There was also the old graveyard or
grave plot in which were the grave
stones Of Washington's father and
mother and grandmother, all pretty
nearly ruined. 1t was lovely warm
weather and mother and l enjoyed
our walk through the funny. lonely
old country. Mocking-birds,m meadow
iarks. Carolina wrens. cardinals, and
held sparrows We're singing cheerfully
we came up the river in time 10 get
home last evening. This morning
mother and l walked around the
White House grounds as usual
think / get more fond Of flowers every
year. The grounds are now at that
high stage of beauty in which they
will stay for the next two months.
The buckeyes are in bloom, the pink
dogwood. and the fragrant lilacs,
which are almost the Ioveliest Of the
bushes; and then the flowers, includ-
ing the ily-of-the-vaIley.
am debating in the office. Archie
Is out by the sandboX playing with
the hose. The playing consists in
Drandishing it around his head and
trying to escape the falling water. He
escapes about twice out Of three
times and must now be a perfect
drowned rat. q have just had HIM
IN to look at him and he is even more
or drowned rat than l supposed. He
mas gone out to complete his shower
bath under strict promise that imme-
diately afterwards he will go in and
change his clothes)
quentin is the funniest mite you
ever saw and certainly a very origi-
nal little fellow. He left at mademoi-
selIes plate yesterday a large bunch
OF flowers with the inscription that
they were from the fairies to her to
reward her for taking care of two
good good boys" Ethel is a dear.
