Board Considers Increase
In Friends Foreign Force

Reports from all the mission fields
under the jurisdiction of the American
Friends Board of Foreign Missions
We're read at meeting of executive
committee of the board in the Five
Years Meeting central offices Friday
morning.
Although the matter will be left
to the ultimate decision of the en-
tire board steps for an increased
staff in Palestine were taken at the
meeting Friday morning
There are now seven missionaries
in Palestine, four of whom have just
gone out of whom Moses Bailey, a
graduate of Earlham college, is a
member. At least one additional
worker will be appointed for the COM
ing year, it is reported. Keen need
for a larger staff was expressed in
the Palestine report.
From Mexico came a call for in
creased work and more workers. The
need for intensive effort during the
coming year was especially urged
Very little hindrance has been given
the missionaries through political un-
rest, the report stated. Were internal
conditions unruly the staff would not
asw for such additional missions as
they have, it was said.

Mail Carriers Battle
Against Icy Roads to
Get Letters to Farms

Iced roads flooded with water caus-
ed many a ripple in the life of the
rural carriers going out from Rich
mond's. postoffice Friday, as well as
all week. The country roads have
not been cleared of snow, and rural
boxes are surrounded by snow drifts.
Carriers found it dangerous to turn
out into the drifts which had been
coated with ice, and were obliged
in many cases to get out and climb
over to the boxes.
The rural carriers and Superintend-
ent of Mails Clarence Foreman join in
asserting that if the farmers would
band themselves together, or take
few minutes a day to clear the roads
along their land with a snow pillow.
and then shovel the snow from around
the letter boxes, they would not only
assist the carriers tremendously, but
increase the mail service which they
want.
I'VE have farmers calling up here
even on a day like this or those
earlier in the week to demand an
explanation for the delay in mail ser
vice, said Superintendent Foreman.

PASSING nF 1918
MARKED CENTURY
. Of INVENTIONS
(Kansas City Starr

NhdubdS lily oldTJ
The end OF the year marked what is
likely in the future to be called the
century Of invention. 1t began with
the discovery of photography in 1920.
That was an epoch-maker, to be
sure. ITO fix and perpetuate reflec-
tions such as mirror returns to the
eye"-that was the problem which
had puzzled many thinker long be-
fore it was solved by Niepce and
Daguerre.
The last one hundred years have
seen greater progress in mechanical
invention than was achieved in all
previous history. Mankind, assuming
the role of Aladdin, has rubbed the
wonderful lamp, and science has
brought into being a multitude Of
marvels undreamed of a century ago.
The first lucifer match was struck
in 1897. Eight years later the cleo
trio telegraph was invented. Short
hand writing Originally called
photography was given to the
world in 1887 by Isaac Pitman. Elias
Howe patented the sewing machine
in 1854. The first passenger elevator
or lift" was installed in 1864. ..
The elevator also was an epoch
making invention, for it rendered tall
office buildings and lofty apartment
houses possible. But the first "sky-
scraper" in New York city was not
erected until 1881.
In 1876 the typewriter was exhibit
ed as a curiosity; 1t did not begin to
come into use until 1888. The boast
ed civilization in 1880 knew not the
telephone, the mechanical typsetter,
the cash register. the safety" bicycle,
the electric light, the electric street
car and the many Industries which to-
day are based upon the utilization of
electricity.
The self-binding harvester, which
saves the labor of hundreds Of thous-
ands Of men, did not come into being
until 1880; and practically all of the
marvellous American inventions in the
way of agricultural machinery have
been evolved in the last thirty-nine
years.
, Westinghouse was 81 years old when
he applied to Cornelius Vanderbilt for
help in introducing the airbrake-a
continuance destined wholly to revolu-
! tionize railroading. The great man
laughed to scorn the idea of stop
ping trains with wind" and dismissed
him, saying that he had no time to
waste on fools.

came a long time afterward Canned
foods are new idea, relatively speak
ing. Likewise cold storage, and ar
tificial ice.
One is naturally tempted to ask
whether mechanical progress is des-
tined to keep on at such a rate. Pos
sibbly it will. But human ingenuity
has its limits, and one may venture
to believe it at least probable that the
period covered by the last hundred
years always will hold it's place in the
history of mankind as the century of
greatest invention.

One thing which annoyed Roosevelt
was the public's, persistence in believ-
ing that it was to him that Gen. Leon

from Mckinley, and all ever gave
him were the promotions due him In
the usual course Of seniority. I've
tried a hundred times to straighten
this out in the public mind, but don't
suppose I'll ever succeed. The public
seems to want to believe this myth.

Franchise League News
Coming of Suffrage Convention

Coming Of Suffrage Convention
The annual convention of the Indiana
Women's Franchise League will be
held in Indianapolis, at the Claypool
Hotel. April 6, and 8, and it is ex-
pected that large number of dele
gates will be in attendance.
This convention, like the national
to be held in Chicago in February, will
no doubt be the last convention held
by the Franchise League, as such, and
for that reason will be in the nature
of Jubilee Convention.
This will be a very important con-
vention because it will decide the
future of the Womans Franchise
League-whether it will cease to be
altogether, now that it's suffrage work
is over, or wheather it will continue
under some other name and for some
other purpose.
A large body of SuffragistS are int
crested in having the organization
merge into the nOn-partiSan League
of Women voters, following the eXamp-
lie of many of the states where the
federal amendment has recently been
ratified.
The main object of the League of
Women Voters is not to induce the
women to be individually non partisan
and not to form wOman'S party but
as a non-partisan organization to keep
the women together so that they may
more effectively work for legislation
of special interest Of women and child
rem. and for the enactment of laws
for the advancement of all.
Indiana will have 40 delegates and

South Lays on Ratification.
The legislature of Mississippi is
now in session, and the house defeat
ed the ratification by a large majority.
Suffrage workers are still expecting a
break in the solid South" however,
and it is believed the National Demo-
cratic party will dealize the import
ance of ratification in the South, and
use all possible pressure to get rati-
| fication in those states.
Demand for Suffrage Pamphlets.
The pamphlet, Aid to the Citizen
| of Indiana" edited and printed by the
Indiana Franchise League, is meeting
with unprecedented demand. Two
editions have been exhausted and the
third edition is now in the hands of
the printer. The Democratic State
committee, in session in Indianapolis
last week, placed an order for 5000
| copies of the pamphlet, to be used in
their work with the women of the
state. Orders for several hundred
copies from the leagues of the state,
are being held at headquarters, await
ing receipt of the third edition before
they can be filled.
Citizenship Schools.
| The work of educating the women
to be intelligent voters, through the
Citizenship Schools being conducted
by the Franchise Leagues, has taken
on renewed activity since the ratif.
cation of the federal amendment. The
schools start in Terre Haute on Jan.
uary 80, and many other cities arc
| making final arrangements to begin
| their classes at once.

and as a result Wood has been like a
sore thumb to him-always in the way
and doing things so well that the
public won't allow Mr.. Wilson to for
get him.
Wood is good soldier and a splen-
did organizer. So is Pershing. Per
shing in addition, is something of a
courtier. Wood is not. Wood has
been plain and outspoken and he's
suffered for it.
wood is big man who can look
on a problem from every angle. He
makes few mistakes, but he's big
enough, when he makes one, to admit
the error, and he always has patience
with the other fellows opinion.
81 am very fond of Wood, and I
know he is of me. but in my years in
the presidency, Wood never took any
advantage of our intimacy or in the
slightest degree presumed on our
friendship. If anything, he leaned
backward in this respect"
