days to get completely rid of cold

SUFFRAG|STS LOSE
BY JUST ONE VOTE
SENATE DECLINES TO APPROVE
HOUSE RESOLUTION FOR SUF-
FRAGE AMENDMENT.
Women Fail in Final Effort to Secure
the Ballot, Vote in Senate Being
One Shy of Necessary
Two Thirds.

Washington.-The hopes of the suf-
fracists were again dashed to the
ground on February 10. when the sell
ate rejected the woman suffrage CON
stitutional amendment.
The house resolution for submission
of the amendment failed of adoption.
with 81 votes in favor of it ana ~
against, just one vote less than the
necessary two-thirds.
Thus ended what leading suffrage
champions had said in advance would
be the final test of this session of con-
greSs. The suffrage advocates went
into the test with the knowledge that
they lacked one vote, but hoping to
the last that the one vote would be
won over
Immediately after the vote was ~
nounced, leaders of woman's or =
cations announced that the fight woaid
be carried on in the next congress. in
which the Republicans will hold both
senate and house, and which. friends
of the resolution declared they be-
lieved, are certain to adopt new
measure.
Senators Nugent of Idaho, Pittman
of Nevada. Smoot of Utah and King
of Utah were for the measure; Sena-
tor Borah of Idaho voted against the
measure.
The senate first voted on the Susan
r. Anthony amendment in 1887. six
teen senators being recorded for it and
thirty-four against it. The next vote
was in 1914, senators dividing thirty
five for and thirty-four against On
October 1. 1918. the vote was fifty-foqr
to thirty. or two less than the neces-
sary majority.
The one vote gained Monday was
that of Senator Pollock of South Caro-
lima, Democrat, who spoke in vigorous
support of the measure. Senator Pol
lock succeeded former Senator Benet.
who voted last October in opposition.
and will retire himself next month.

Y. N. c. A. CRITICISM

Eighty per cent OF the criticism
leveled against the y. NJ. c. 4. War
Work is apparently malicious and I'M
truthful. Take one example. the
charge that the Y NJ c. A. sold gilt
tobacco. that soldiers who purchased
tobacco in y. NJ c. A. canteen
found inside the package card with
the name of the donor inscribed.
This statement is made repeatedly.
What is the answer to it: Simply
this, that the Y. NJ. c. A. purchased
this tobacco from the Quartermas-
ter's department of the United
States Army and when it was discov-
cred that it was gift tobacco the mon
ey was refunded to the soldiers
where it was possible.
Then the government was called
upon to investigate the matter and al
ter its investigation assumed full re-
sponsibility for the error. stating that
the shipment was not labelled and
that. it had sold this tobacco to the
y. NJ. c. A. and that the Y. NJ. c. A..
had paid for it and did not know it
was gift tobacco.
Yet the story OF how the y. NJ. G.
A. sold gift tobacco is told and retold.
No amount of explanation can over
come the harm that oft repeated story
