BIGGEST BUREAU OF SUFFRAGE PROPAGANDA
IN THE WORLD is HEADED BY A MISSOURI
WOMAN WHO USED TO WRITE SHORT FICTION

When Mrs Frank Leslie died few
years ago She left the bulk Of her for
tune to Mrs Carrie Chapman Catt TO
be used for the advancement of the
suffrage cause. Although the amount
of the fortune by no means reached
the sum accredited 10 it i'm current
reports, the actual figures were in the
ueichborhood of throc0uarters Of y
million dollars.
Mrs Catt. who has am abiding faith
that the only reason anybody opposes
woman suffrage is because of ignorance
of its fundamental Significance. de
cided that the most effective way to al.
vance the suffrage cause was through
the further education of the entire pub
lie ON the subject Of suffrage.
Her next step was to form the Les.
lie Woman Suffrage Commission. the
members Of which We're to serve with
her in the supervision Of the eXpendi-
ture of the Leslie fund. On the com
mission are such well.kuown women
as Mrs Raymond Robins president Of
the National Women'S Trade Union
League; Mrs. Percy v Pcnnybakor or
Texas, former president of the Gen.
eral Federation Of Women's clubs;
Miss Mary Garrett Hall chairman of
the Woman Suffrage Party of New
York City Mrs Arthur I4ivermore,
and Mrs Thomas Bucklm Wells.
Next Mrs. Gait turned over the or.
ganization Of the idea of educating
the public in suffrage to Miss Rose
Young, who put it into practical form
by organizing the Leslie Bureau Of
Suffrage Education. Through its va.
rious news, feature and educational
services, this Bureau feeds to the press
of the country the great volume of
suffrage material that appears in the
newspapers and magazines. It has a
daily news service that serves big dali.

supplies plate service that furnishes

over the country with suffrage matter.

DISASTROUS EFFECTS OF SHEDDING
By M. D. sBEX BY LosAn8eles Branch ManaSer BE Goodrich Rubber c

Skidding or locking the brakes and sliding the wheels results in serious ana uncalled for dam age to tie tires. It also has runous effect on the mechanism of the motor car It subjects the tires to an unusual strain in addition to the work which they must perform in supporting and propelling the car and its load.
 The accompanying illustration clearly shows how the tread may literally be torn from the carcass of a tire as a result of this practice Automobile owners should be brought to realize that their cars will stop quicker if brakes are applied gradually and firmly rather than sharply. Improperly adjusted brakes some times will cause the wheels to lock- thus grind ing or tearing of section of the tire
 To make certain that both brakes take hold evenly the rear axle should be lacked up so that neither wheel rests on the ground; then start the engine and engage the clutch When the foot brake is applied, if one rear wheel revolves while the other remains stationary or, if one wheel turns faster than the other excessive wear to the tread rubber of the wheel turning slowest may be expected. This will continue unless the brake drums are evenly adjusted.
 As soon as car starts to skid it should be steered, if possible. in the direction of the skid. Cars carefully driven ordinarily will not skid except under abnormal conditions The rapid turning of corners increases the strain and wear on tires with the same ultimate effect as skidding and sliding. Skidding greatly shortens the life Of tire and the car owner who carefully avoids this practice secures ult mate mileage on his investment

STRIKE News From Many Points
PITTSBURG

PITTSBURG. Oct. 4.-The end of the second week of the steel strike found the situation in the Pittsburg district virtually unchanged from that of the last few days.
 Although the company's statement declared that many men had returned to work and that production was near normal. union leaders said the situa- tion was satisfactory and that the ranks of the strikers were unbroken.
 Preparations are being made by steel companies to open many suspended mills in western Pennsylvania, West Virginia and eastern Ohio Monday morning.
 Hundreds of workers tired of the strike are expected to enter the mills Monday, employers said.
 In the meantime the striking work CTS are evidently preparing for a long struggle.
 The first of a number of suits against the state police and deputy sheriffs in the Pittsburg strike zone for alleged unlawful acts" were filed here today in the Allegheny county court. The suits were entered against the state police for an alleged assault on two residents of Homestead who are said to be non strikers"

 The reservations specifically fav- ored were for the right of the United States to withdraw from the league upon due notice: for no obligation to employ American soldiers or sailors unless congress shall so direct; for complete control of democratic ques- tions such as the tariff and immigra- tion. by the United States and for the United States to be the sole judge in interpreting the Monroe doctrine.

 THE BRANDING IRON. = Some writers win success because they hold readers by the mere power of their words Others achieve fame by the characters that spring from their brains and transferred to the printed pages of a book. Many-the majority are popular because of the stories they invent and tell, sometimes well, sometimes indifferently. but always in passable form.
 In "The Branding Iron" (Houghton- Mifflin Company, Katharine Newlin Burt, really new author, has come to the front in American literature of the popular sort by combination of the three. She writes very well indeed. and at times rises even to vivid word pictures-something which seems al most unknown to American writers of the day, or at least those who gain prominence. Her characters are ex- ceptionally good, even though they are unusual-but who wants to read about the usual ?-and in their portrayal Mrs. Burt proves nearly too good to be true, they are so lifelike and so naturally drawn. And as for the story-well the story generally makes the book and in this case the book deserves tc outsell any book of the last year, with not more than five exceptions.
 Mrs. Burt calls her book romance of the east and west.
