 AGAIN REFUSES SPECIAL SESSION

When interviewed last night con- cerning the adoption by the Republi- can state convention Of resolution respectfully requesting him to cnu a special session of the Legislature to act on the federal woman suffrage amendment, Governor Holcomb made the following statement:
 'I have read the resolution passed today by the Republican state con vention. I do not see how that changes the situation or assists to create the special emergency which authorizes the governor to call a special session.
 "The Constitution places the re sponsibility upon the governor. I shall not shift it to the delegates to the Republican state convention. again decline to call a special session.
 '"The adoption by 36 states of the federal suffrage amendment will changN our Constitution, but until it is changed, my oath of office requires me to support it in its unchanged form. If Connecticut should be one of the 36 states to adopt the suffrage amendment by the vote of the Gen. era1 Assembly and thereby change our Constitution, without thee on- curing vote of the electors of the state, it would be contrary to the provisions of our Constitution

MRS. YARD

What is better than presence of mind in a railroad accident asked a cynic. Absence of body,'' answered a fellow wit There have been women singular1y endowed with presence of mind in unforeseen and critical situ- ations. Of such was Mrs. Izard. In the Rev. War, MT. Ralph Izard, a true liberty man, resided near Dor chester, S. c. The British particu- Iarly hated him, and hoped to snare him. Their forces approached the house. MT. Izard hid himself in a clothes press. The soldiers went through the house, the adroit wife, by her coolness and apparent unconcern throwing them completely of the path. When they left, Izard fled across the river to the American army The soldiers returned, and this time went directly to the old clothes press! But they were disap- pointed Marching out of the house, they were overtaken by the Ameri- cans, and made captive. A women's presence of mind and self control 1 saved the day!
