In anticipation of ratification OF
the Nineteenth amendment by the
Tennessee Legislature this week
suffrage leaders are formulating pro-
grams to fit the changed conditions
There are evidences that the women
will put more zip" into the some
what apathetic Presidential contest
The National Woman's party will
call a national convention TO be held
within 60 days after ratification
This convention will decide whether
the Woman's party, originally or
ganized solely to obtain the Federal
amendment, is to continue it's poiiti-
cal activities as unit or disband
and be absorbed by other women's
organizations.
In a number of States the sulfra-
gists of both groups have indicated
that they expect to wage retaiiatory
war on certain public men in the fall
elections who have been the most
active in rolling stones IN the way OF
ratification during the last year.
Foremost on their list is Senator
Warren, of New York. Others who
will have to meet the suffragists at
Armageddon in November are Sena-
tor Brandegee, Senator Dillingham;
and Senator Moses.

MUNICIPAL ATHLETIC MEET.
Games will Be Held In Patterson
Park.

The Municipal Athletic Games
Association has issued an announce
ment that the twenty-first annual
handicap meet, under its auspices,
will be held this year on September
IL at Patterson Park, Baltimore, at
2 O'Clock p M.
The program is very considerably
arranged, and includes events for all
sizes of boys, and also girls 1t is
variegated to such an extent that the
S0-pound youngster has an oppor-
tunity to strive for success as well
as men and women. In addition to
the regular athletic events, races are
promoted in swimming, bicycling, as
we'll as two special attractive events.
Last year the entry comprised
more than 500 individuals, and it is
estimated that this years entries will
greatly exceed all past records. In
view of the fact that Defenders Day,
September IL, falls on Sunday this
year, the committee deemed it ex-
pedient to conduct the meet on the
Saturday preceding September
III, so that, in case of rain, the
events may be held on the following
Monday, which will be holiday.
Handsome cups will be awarded
the first, second and thiTd man in
each event if ten compete. All the
events are open to actual residents
of Maryland and Baltimore. The
club scoring the most points will be
awarded a trophy cup. The entries
will positively close on Friday, Aug.
81, at midnight, and no entries re-
ceived postmarked later than August
26 will be accepted. No appeals will
be considered. A competitor may
enter no more than four events. A
junior is boy or girl who was under
16 years of age on January 1, 1920.
Juniors must register with the A. A.
u, but there will be no fee charged.
All seniors will be required to regis
ter with the A. A. U.

One of our contemporaries wants
to know what excuse there is for the
rise in prices of phosphates? And
then states there is to be an increase
of about So per ton this fall. The
farmers ought to refuse to pay it. II
they cannot get the ingredients at
reasonable prices and mix their own
they should refuse to use any and put
in wheat only such land as will grow
a fair crop without commercial fertl-
lizers. The present price Of wheat
does not justify using commercial
fertilizers at present prices. So long
as farmers think they have to buy
fertilizers at any price, fertilizer COM
panies like other profiteers will keep
lacking up the price. Since Con-
gress failed, because it was an cleo
ton year, to provide necessary legis-
lation against profiteering there is
but one remedy left the people, re-
fuse to be robbed even if we have to
do without.

Meeting OF League To Enforce Peace

Meeting OF League To Enforce Peace
The Maryland Branch of the
League to Enforce Peace will hold a
meeting early in September to deter
mine upon it's action in view of the
coming Presidential election.
Mr.. Henry W. Williams, Chairman,
wrote to Mr.. Taft, President of the
League to Enforce Peace, some time
since, urging meeting of the Ex-
ecutive Committee Of the National
League for the purpose of taking
such action, and he has just heard
from Mr.. Taft to the effect that such
meeting will probably be held short
ly.
It is most important in view OF
the League of Nations that both
candidates should commit themselves
to the ratification of the Covenant of
the League of Nations, with reserva-
tions, and it is believed that a
prompt action by the League to En-
force Peace and by the various
branches might add much to the &C
complishment of this end.
The meeting of the Maryland
Branch will probably be held shortly
after the meeting of the National
Committee in New York unless a
meeting of such Committee is unduly
delayed

Less than / per cent. of more than
1000, 900 men registered under the
selective service act during the war
have been found chargeable with
willful desertion, according to an
announcement by the War Depart
ment. The actual figure is 1891,
against whom desertion charges have
been recorded, and this represents,
the statement says, "a tremendous
improvement over the draft record
of the civil war"
The Department will soon make
public the names of those branded as
deserters, and take steps to bring
about their apprehension.

The Pennsylvania State Police

AUTO OWNERS MUST TITLE CARS
Those Who Fail To Do So BY Decem-
Der 81 Will Not Be Able to Ride.

Der 81 Will Not Be Able to Ride.
Thousands of motorcars in Mary
land will be tied up for an indefinite
period the beginning of next year
because the owners, having failed to
comply with the titling law, will not
be able to get their license tags
promptly This is the prospect
which the 'Automobile4C Commissioner,
Col. E. Austin Baughman, eEvisages
unless owners take prompt steps to-
comply with the titling formaiities.
Less than two weeks remain to-
get titles, the season" which began
June /, closing September /. So far
titles for about only half the number
of cars have been issued. The law
provides for the titling within the
90-day period above stated
Getting title from September /
to December 81 promises to be a
tedious process for delinquent own
ers, even if there is no fine attached.
After the earlier date, the owner will
either have to drive his car to the
SOnlAloOlOitCA . Vi Az
will have to wait until an Inspector
is sent round to examine it.
This is going to be inconvenients
but the real rub is anticipated after
December 81 After this date OWL
ers of untitled cars will be unable To
drive to the Automobile Commiss' on
er's Office because they will have no
titles, and titles are a prerequisite to
getting tags, and 1921 tags will be
an essential bit of equipment after
December 81, 1920.
Therefore the proerastinating mo.
torist will of necessity have to pro-
crastinate some more and wait until
an inspector appears to make the
examination of their cars and the re-
port thereon. There will be an in
sufficiency of inspectors for this tire
mendous extra job.
For the benefit OF all concerned,
accordingly, Colonel Baughman is
asking the motorists to make hay
while the August sun yet shines ana
to get their titles, from which the
requisite data governing the issuing
of license tags is compiled, before
September 1.

Measuring the prices of a hog in
bushels of corn, instead Of in dollars,
is form of applied mathematics
used by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture in keeping tab
ON prices of farm products. Theor-
etically 100 pounds of live hogs
should be worth about 10 bushels OF
corn. The ratio varies. 1t is gen.
orally highest in the corn belt and
lowest in New England, the far
South, and the far West. Al the
present time the ratio is unusually
narrow-tha is, 100 pounds of hogs
is not worth as many bushels OF
corn as usual. The department
draws the inference that during the
next IL months hogs will advance
more than corn or corn will decline
more than hogs.

TOMATO GAMERS FACING
TROUBLES.
Situation Caused BY Shortage OF
Cans May Mean A Saving
To Housewives.

OduS May MICAH N
To Housewives.
The tomato canning situation is
reported worse in Maryland now
than it has ever been, due to a series
of discouraging developments. Those
in touch with the situation insist
that there never was time when it
is more important for the housewife
to can tomatoes than right now. The
discouraging developments began
many months ago when the men in
the tin mills went on prolonged
strike, returning to work just as the
railroad strike opened up, thus eals-
ing the mills to remain idle another
long period and putting production
of tin back six months.
Now that tomatoes are ripenins in
the fields the can factories are unable
to supply anything like the needed
cans. With the money shortage
many packers are unable to finance
their canning operations. The cans
are selling much higher than year
ago. All labor costs are greater.
Therefore, there will not be any
thing like enough tomatoes canned
to meet the demand.
Tomatoes may sell for a low iigare,
due to the throwing on the market OF
big crops that were intended for
canning. Thus the housewife, with
some little experience at canning,
can make bigger margin than ever
before.
The whole situation has developed
to the greatest possible advantage OF
the home Gamers who use glass jars.
A few canning firms that obtained
cans a long time in advance or had
contracts with the can factories are
in fortunate position, with pros
poets of making good profit ON their
output.
