 Intoxicating oil from the crank case should be drained every 1000 miles. This is very important, due to the fact that few carburetors will mix and va porize the present day low grade gaso- line and unvaporized gas will pass the pistons and get into the crank case. thereby causing dilution of crank case oil, which means loss of lubricating properties and heating of engine is the result.

 With the approach of hot weather heating of automobile engines becomes more manifest.
 After driving the car all winter a visit should be made to a competent repair man and have him make thor ough inspection and remedy should he find the following which causes engines to overheat:
 Cylinder Jackets Clogged-This is caused in many cases by water spaces around cylinders becoming obstructed with sediment and corrosion.
 Valves Not Seating-The poor grade of fuel that is offered today is lower in gravity and higher in heat units than the fuel We purchased a year or so ago. This fuel causes valves to pit, and as they get much hotter than for merly due to high B, t. u. in the gaso- line they warp and scale

 We'll" said the young fellow. with a grim smile, that's just the point-it's my love of family that gets me into jail"

 Why, my father and mother are both in prison. But we can never meet. They go in, I come out. They leave, l go in. It's a regular thing, and it upsets our family life.''

Tn Sell Horse Meat

Pierre, S. D., April 26-A corporation to dispose of light animals to European dealers in horse meat has been formed by South Dakota horse dealers For many years light horses have been of little value to South Dakota ranchers. The plan is said to have been discussed at
 Washington as one means of providing the poorer classes in continental Europe
 with meat. Those behind the corporation
 say the American market has shown little interest in the horse meat industry.

cording to William de Lignemare, the
Hickson artist responsible for it's Gre
alton, is the outline of the atmospheric
displacement which will be made by
the new spring gown as it will appear
within short time on Fifth Avenue.
Fifth Avenue will not be the scene
OF it's first appearance, however. it
having been booked to make it's debut
at the Morosco Theatre on Thursday
afternoon, March 27, where it will be
staged by Hickson as feature of the
Fashion Show, the proceeds of which
are to be applied by the National
League for Woman's Service to the
work done by the league for the SOL
dier and the sailor.
Several who have seen the rehear-
sails say that those who will appear
IN the new silhouette cast were Sc
lected not only for their beauty but
also for their histrionic talent, the
exactions of the plot requiring that
the new silhouette be shown in the va
rlety of color and texture essential to
its adjustment to all ages and COM
plexions. The development of the blot
will be to demonstrate that the new
silhouette is sufficiently fetching to
become popular with the debutante
and yet not too spectacular to com
mend itself to the middlc-agcd gentle
woman.
The Fashion Show will, therefore
be a revelation of the strides forward
in modern realistic drama, as we'll as
one of the most prominent social
events of the spring, and the most
worthy effort of the lenten season to
pay debt of gratitude and apprecia-
ton to our soldiers.

under the Craftsmanship of Miss Mar
lorie Curtis, assisted by the patroness,
Mrs. Edward McVickar, who is also

Start of Long Fight for Vote

section of Mrs. Cats Offices in the
World Building, New York City, for
which the association paid SIS month

York City until 1903, when they were
moved to Warren, Ohio, under the
charge of Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton,

More Canteen Workers
Needed As Troops Come
Community Service Calls ON
Women to Answer Call and
Help Entertain Heroes

In an effort to recruit the large
force of volunteer women necessary
in its information booths, now that
the return of New York's own soldiers
is making increasing calls on the serv-
ice, the War Camp Community Serv-
ice has just established a regular
training school for booth workers. The
school has a regular course of lee
lures and a peripatetic annex in the
form of bus trips, on which the women
students are familiarized with the city
and the fifty or more units in which
the community service houses or feeds
soldiers or sailors. This is in prep
aration for the 10000 or more ques-
tions- that are now asked each week.
The booth bureau of the community
service. like the other war work or
CARNATIONS, has found its volunteer
women workers slipping gradually
away. Some of them served because
they wished to do for other women's
boys what they hoped other women
were doing for their boys "over
there; some for the excitement of
the thing; more in order to keep
themselves busy and avoid brooding.
The return of soldiers, the ending
of the excitement and the signing of
the armistice, with its relief from all
cause for dread, have taken these
three classes of women--and some
others-out of the ranks of war
workers.
The community service a few weeks
ago feared that it might have to close
a booth or two for lack of workers.
And then the situation changed. The
work became more and more important
as the homecoming of the soldiers
made provision for replacing them in
their neighborhood circles the most
important thing in sight.
Many women came to realize, as did
the heads of the community service.
that the work to be done for the re-
turned soldier was even more essential
than that for the departing warrior,
since the work done now is likely to
affect the soldiers whole lifetime
The result of this feeling was an
accession to the ranks of the booth
workers of many mature women. who
wanted to work on what Mrs. Florence
Gray, dean of the community service
corps, calls the frst-line trenches.
then the return of the 9th greatiy
increased the need for women accus-
toned to public affairs and possessed
of broad knowledge.
30 the recruiting drive was launched
ana the school was started The serv-
ice has calls for many new booths, and
mas the booths ready to put up, wait
ing only on the women who are to fill
them. In Brooklyn an experiment is
to be tried by having a former soldier
IN uniform in the booth to answer the
questions of civilians reversal of
previous practice.
Mrs. Gray, who is entitled to q vet
eran's three chevrons on her uniform
sleeve, has just gone to France to
further the work of the information
service. She will join her husband, an
attachc of the peace mission in Paris;
put she will also see that tho litera-
ture and booklets of the community
service are distributed to HOMECOMING
troops.
within my experience we have done
everything. from arranging wedding
with bridesmaid to telling man

Field for Women Seen
In Laboratory Work
DIR. Brown Discusses Admission
of Female Students to
Medical College

THE fact that the New York Uni
versity and Bellevue Hospital Medical
College recently has extended the
privileges of its course to women as
we'll as men, does not mean that q
rush of women doctors will follow"
said DR.. Samuel A. Brown, M. D., dean
of the college.
"Indeed," Dr.. Brown continued, 81
hope only few women will apply for
admittance at first and that we may
concentrate on a small number who
have carefully weighed the pros and
cons of a medical profession and are
seriously determined to see the long
training through.
"The college would have admitted
women before, but there were insult
fcient accommodations difficulty
which has been met by gift from Mrs.
John P. Mum, which has made it pos
sible for US to fix up a rest room and
other facilities for women.
"Women will be admitted upon the
same basis as men. They will work
on the same basis as men. AS for their
work after graduation, I think it
naturally will differ. Some few may
adopt the practice of medicine; but in
the main I would recommend labora-
tory work for women. BY nature they
are adapted to it, in that they give
their attention to detail to a greater
degree than do men. Moreover, it is
the work that more men would under
take could they afford it; but labora-
tory workers seldom get more than
$4,000. Women, in the main, do not
have to support family as do men.
They can, therefore, live we'll upon
such salary-better, of course, than
can a man who has wife and children
to care for. Life insurance companies
and large stores are using women more
and more in their medical departments.
"Women make very good internes,
also," DR.. Brown said, "and many of
them turn their attention to children's s
diseases. l do not think they lean to
any great degree toward obstetrcal
work"

different and the Great Cause was in
its infancy.
Some there are who remember the
original headquarters where the as
sociation had it's birth Mrs. Eliza
beth B. Phelps, a brilliant woman, en-
dowed with executive energy, founded
an organization called the "Woman's
Bureau" opened her spacious apart
ment at 49 East Twenty third Street
to its members and lent her aid in
helping to promote reforms in gen
eral and the woman movement in par
ticuiar.
From this grew the national society
in which 100 members were pledged
From these original 100 the organza-
tion has grown until it now numbers
more than 100000.
The first president Of the new asso-
citation was Elizabeth Cady Stanton,
Susan B. Anthony, the dynamic force
behind woman's struggle for suffrage
accepted no official post in the asso-
citation other than membership on the
executive committee.
Met With Miss Anthony
But in Susan B. Anthony's little
study in Rochester or around her
parlor table the earnest group of
women workers held their meetings,
laid their plans and formulated their
arguments. No other official headquar-
ters existed for the first seven years
of the associations activities. The
woman's bureau had given over part
of its available space to "The Revolu-
tion," suffrage journal begun in
January 1868, by Mrs. Stanton and
Miss Anthony. Through the medium
Of this journal thousands of petitions
were sent to women in the country
urging them to demand "an amend
ment to regulate suffrage by remov-
ing the distinction of sex"
In 1875 the National Woman Suf-
fragc Association rented temporary
headquarters at 1431 Chestnut Street,
Philadelphia. This they did to be in
evidence during the Centennial Expo
sition and to "protcst against calling
this Centennial a celebration of the
independence of the people while one
half are still political slaves"

who was corresponding secretary of
the National Woman Suffrage AS
sociation for twenty years, gave the

"His report, which was adopted by

rolled voters; that delegates elected
in this manner shall receive from the

Labor now is so strong that it will

tain the majority of its demands by
reasonable negotiation. The labor
leaders of this country realize to the
full their duty to the community. If
strikes occur it will only be because
every effort at negotiation has failed"
DR.. Phillips was asked if she could
explain why SO small a proportion of
the women's vote went to labor at the
last election.
THE chief reason" she replied, "was
that the election was an entirely ab-
normal one. The women voted for
Lloyd George just because he had been
successful in carrying on the war, and
they thought it was only right he
should be allowed to finish the Job

means of awakening their interest in
