which their political organization is built. Through the last seven years of world crisis, new opportunities for the advancement of women have been opened whenever possible, and many have attained high place in the Government. service For the first time in history women have been appointed to high offices that require confirmation by the United States Senate; for the first time they have places on the United States Civil Service Commission, the Dis trict of Columbia Rent Commission and as executives in the land offices under the Department of the Interior. It is no longer a matter of surprise that women are qualified for salaries of $5,000 or more. and no one ques- tions their ability to earn a mans pay for doing a mans work.
 With the facts that mark the achievements of the administration in mind, women who have votes in the Democratic National Convention of 1920 will feel their peculiar re- sponsibility. To them has been given the task of helping to choose the candidate who, if elected, will carry on what has been SO sp1endidly achieved, and after the nomination il is the duty of every woman with a conception of the real meaning of Democracy to do all in her power tc assure the election of the man who is the choice of the convention ot 1920.

'. KITCHEN KINKS

Two Jumps of sugar placedzln the saucepan when boiling your cau1i- flower will keep it nice and white
 Before you pour water in which cabbage has been cooked down the sink, allow it to become perfectly cold. Then you will have no disagree able odor from it afterward.
 To remove mud stains. rub with Aa raw potato. It acts like magic. Brush off the surplus dust, then apply the potato. Don't be afraid to rub il, and as one slice gets soiled take a clean slice. Leave until dry and then brush off. stt
 You should never allow your cakes to cool in the tins in which they are baked. Neither should they be placed on a fiat solid surface to cool Take them out of the tins and put on a sieve, or tilt them so the steam can escape.
 Those who have to use brown sugar in place of white may be glad to know that it should be placed where it can be kept damp, rather than dry. Granu1ated sugar cakes when it gets too moist, but brown sugar Jumps when it gets dry. When your brown sugar gets 1umpy. put it in the cellar. That is what grandmother did.

WOMEN TO TAKE ACTIVE PART IN
 BIG CONVENTION
IBy Mrs. George Bass.]

When the Democratic National
 Convention is called to order June 28,
 in San Francisco, there will be
 political assemblage more represen-
 tative of the whole people than any
 that has hitherto come together to
 select a candidate for the highest off,
 fee in the United States Government
 In view of the cordiality of the Dem-
 lncratic party in welcoming the new
 voters and in sharing party honors
 with them, it has been long predict
 ed that beneath most of the State
 banners, women delegates and women
 alternates would have seats. Lists
 compiled by the Woman's Bureau,
 Democratic National Committee,
 tia1ly correct.
 Compared with the personnel of
 the Republican National Convention
 the Democratic National Convention bears out the claim that the party of Jefferson and Jackson is the one
 through which the women of the country will find it possible to work toward the highest ideals of citizen ship, the party that will admit them to fullest cooperation. Up to June 1, with seven conventions still to meet thirty women have been elected to serve as delegates-at-large in San Francisco. Sixteen states have ac- corded this highest privilege to the new voters. Twenty-three a1ternates- at-large have been sent from nine states. Half the states have been prompt to give women a voice in making the nominations, and in this important matter the public has found reason for surprise, since in some cases unexpected generosity has been manifested. For instance, 1 Massach husetts, where women VII not have the Presidential vote until the I thirty-sixth state ratides, selected i four women as a1ternate-s at-large | and fifteen as a1ternates. Now York which has ninety delegates, has | given women substantial recognition 1 and sends two women as delegates 1 at-large, two as a1ternates-at-large I ten as delegates and forty as altern- 1 ates. Missouri also has been gen. | erous. This state has elected four l women deIegates-at-1arge, five dis 1 trict delegates and twenty altern- 1 ates.

R0RABACK SAYS
 POLITICS NOT
 MOMENTS PLACE

Hartford, June 19.---J. Henry Rora- back, chairman of the Republican state central committee, said yester- day that he is certain the action of the Chicago convention on suffrage will not affect the position of the state central committee.
 The governor is the only man who can change the suffrage situation in this state, Chairman Rorafback said, and he is positive Gov. Ho1comb can not be turned from his stand against a special session
 The state chairman added his belief that women in states where they have been granted the vote have been made mannish by the fact that he believes women should stay out of the un- pleasant business of politics
 Rorabaek gave this opinion in an interview with Clarence W. Seymour of this city, secretary of the executive subcommittee of the mems Conecti- cut Republican committee for the rat- ification of the federal suffrage amendmeDt f'-=
