Key Industries Ask For
 Government Protection

London, Feb. 13.-The need for government protection of leadin g British key industries was emphasized by several experts at Q meeting of the Society of Chemical Industry.
 One speaker who had visited the German chemical works of the Rhine valley described them as ''one huge and highly efficient organization tem- porarily paralyzed but capable of supplying 80 per cent. of the worlds needs of dyes, with the necessary raw materials and labor"
 His point was that with such an organization in existence immediate steps should be taken by the British government to ensure some form of protection to British industries.

Susan B. Anthony
 Her Anniversary

Rochester, N. Y, Feb. 13.-Two generations of suffrage leaders- Susan B. Anthony, author of the suf- frage amendment, and Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the National Woman's Party. Both leaders have been nilitants, despite Quaker ances- try. Miss Anthony was the first woman arrested for the cause and Miss Paul has spent several terms in jail for the same reason.
 One hundred years ago> on Febru- ary Is, 1920, Susan E. Anthony was born in South Adams, Mass. Tn SS20 no state in the Union and no foreign country allowed women to vote. In 1920, 17,O00, 900 American women are now. eligible to vote for president and 100000 for mem bers of Congress. In 26 states women have full or presidential suffrage and In two primary suffrage. In 21 for eign countries they have full suffrage.
 First Public Address. -. In 1S46, when the Anthony family moved to Rochester, N. T., which was Miss Anthony's home until her death March Is, 1906, she became head of the female department of the Academy at Cana joharie. The fol- lowing year she made her first plat form address before a woman's society, ''The Daughters Union,'' of that place. In 1854 slie formally al- lied herself with the "woman's rights or suffrage cause.
 The following years were devoted 10 lectures and what would now be known as "propaganda'' work, which eliminated in the organization of the National Woman Suffrag ge Association by Miss Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton in May, 1869. Seven years prior to this, Miss Anthony cast bal 'ots at the state and congressional elections in Rochester to test the 14th and 1 9th amendments. She was in dicted for illegal voting and a fine vas imposed. She refused to pay the fine, but was not jailed.

 When Miss Anthony visited London In 1899, Lady Henry Somerset com nented upon another side of the great suffrage leader, recognized by all who came in close contact with her.

PROFITEERS BEWARE!
Vienna Court Established to Punish Dealers Who Raise Prices Illegal Iy.

Vienna, Feb. 13--Mobile courts have been established here to eXpe- dite trial of persons charged with il- legal pricing Of fixed priced articles. They consist of three members, one a merchant or business expert, and if the verdict is unanimous there is no appeal The regular courts are so congested with cases of this character that the calendar never could be cleared.
 A curious result of this delay was shown in a case tried the other day. The merchant was charged with over pricing last June. In the trial his counsel showed that the article in question now sells for five times more than the price he then asked.

address here today.
Defending the senator's opposition
to the treaty of peace as a high and
patriotic duty, the senator flung down
this gauntlet:
I'VE make the issue; we ask appro-
baton for what We have done. The
people will now tell US what they
think of Mr.. wilson's league and the
sacrifice of America"
While emphasizing the point that
around the league must be waged the
1920 presidential campaign. and de-
voting much of his speech to arraign-
ment of the Wilson administration,
the senator found time to lay before
the delegates the stand of the Repub-
lican party on other salient problems
facing the nation.
Mexico Comes First.
Chief among these was Mexico. De-
claring it was time for the United
States to take a firm hand in things

ator Lodge urged that this country

dent some strong and upright. man
who is friendly to the United States
and determined to establish order and
then lend him a real and cordial sup

clared. 1T is a primary duty for us to

Chicago, June S.-When the dele
gates and the other crowds here piled
out of bed and scattered for breakfast,
they feared a blistering hot day un-
comfortably warm in the morning
hours and the temperature climbing.
The weather sharps had predicted
Generally fair, and not much change
in temperature" but the crowds could
not take that view.
There was an early start toward the
Coliseum, many of the late night
stragglers being a bit weary, with a
long siege ahead.
Around the hotels a few barkers Of
fered tickets to the convention at
fabulous prices, with few buyers. The
sion would supply no excitement.
All We're Up Early.
The candidates were up and about
early. Campaign managers were on
the job taking stock, and hoping to
find out If there had been any over
night changes in the lineup. In the
rush to get to the Coliseum nobody
paid much attention to the morning
conferences with candidates. and there
was evidence that this method OF OBJ
tanning publicity was wearing itself
out, for some of the leading aspirants
sent down word yesterday that there
was nothing to say.
Everybody was still up in the air
as to who would win the nomination
and from all sides there was q volley
of inquiries as to when the job might
be finished. Also, for many the
weather was of more vital interest
than the nominee.
Less than a dozen state delegations
had failed to hold a caucus. but with
the exception of Georgia and possibly
one or two others there was no fighi
ahead. and little interest was dis
played.
The main idea was to get to the con
vention hall. to see the break ava,
and hope thereby to get the righ
slant on the possible outcome. There
was a lot of talk about Johnson.

Policy, the human fly" will climb up
the side of the Central National bank
building with his bag of State Jour
nails.
Policy amused the spectators Mon
day evening when. after reaching the
third floor, he stopped and looked
puzzled at the vast crowd below.
''What'n I do now-I'm stuck" he
cried.
No one from below offered sugges-
tions.
IT know" Policy said in answer to
his own query, III look at the State
Journal-it tells everything"
Then he took out a newspaper and
opened it as he clung to the brick
wall.
Policy climbs again at $50 o'clock
this evening. He is known all over
the country for his daredevil tactics.
He has climbed the Woodwork build
ing in New York among his tours over
the United States-therefore a mere
Kansas avenue structure holds no ter
ror for him. While in Topeka he is
exhibiting at the Isis theater.
