Washington. More than 400 old
clerks, men and women. passed out OF
the government service on August 20
under the new retirement law.
No more dismal occasion In the an

bered By the oldest employee. Many

Bureau chiefs tried to inject little
cheer into the situation, but a dreary
rain that persisted all day, and utter
detection within, seriously hampered
their efforts. Celebrations were held,
but they fell flat IN every bureau
Although more than 1000 employees
are to be retired, only 1923 had been
certified to the pension bureau, and It
will only be these who will receive
pension check on September /. The
others will have to wait for several
days, or perhaps weeks, before they
receive their pensions, on account of

Employees who are retired will re-
ceiye varying amounts, according to
their pay and length of service, but
they will average about $500 year,
IL has been estimated. This will mean
that the government will pay out in
pensions about $2,540,00o a year to the
retired employees, while It has been es-
timated that the amount paid into the
retirement fund by the government
employees, at the rate Of 2h per cent
Of their salaries, will be more than

AMERICAN WOMEN
GIVEN FRANCHISE
LONG FIGHT ENDS IN TRIUMPH
WHEN TENNESSEE VOTES
FOR SUFFRAGE.
Estimated There Are Now $4,000, 600
Women In the United States Who
Have Same Rights at Ballot
Box as the Male Voter.

Nashville.-Tennessee on Wednes,
day, August Is, became the thirty,
sixth state to ratify the Susan b. An.
thony federal suffrage act. The con.
stitutional change thus will become eff
fective in time for the 27,00O,000 WON.
en- OF the country to vote in the presi.
Dental election in November, unless
the lower house of the Tennessee as.
sembly rescinds its action in adopting
the ratification resolution, 40 to AZ.
Suffrage leaders declare they will
not slacken their efforts, as they de-
sire to have at least one other state
ratify before the November elections,
as they expect fight to be made
against Tennessee's action because of
the clause, In the state constitution
which prohibits any assembly from act
Ing on an amendment not submitted
before the members were elected. Both
United States Solicitor General Frier-
son and the attorney general of Ten
nessee have declared this clause to be
unconstitutional in the light of the re-
cent decision of the supreme court in
the Ohio referendum case.
Ratification by the Tennessee legis-
lature was the elimination of an in
tensive drive made by suffrage propo-
nents to have the amendment made eff
fectivs in time for the women of the
country to vote III the presidential
election in November. The drive was
started when West Virginia became
the thirty-fourth state to ratify early
this year.
A legal attack will be made on suf-
frage, according to the officers of the
Tennessee Constitutional league,
which is composed of lawyers. The
argument will be that the state con-
stitution forbade action by this ses-
sion of the legislature.
Aside from this and the possibility
of q change in the result through re-
consideration, the only step remaining
to make the nineteenth amendment
operative is the PRONUNCIATION of de-
cree from the secretary of state.
Text of Amendment.
The suffrage amendment reads as
follows Resolved, by the senate and
house of representatives of the United
States of America, in congress assem-
bled (two-thirds of each house concur
ring therein), that the following arti-
Gle be proposed to the legislatures of
the several states as an amendment to
the constitution of the United States,
which, when ratified by three-fourths
of the said legislatures shall be valid
as part of said constitution, namely:
Article -, section /. The right of
citizens of the United States to vote
shall not be denied or abridged by the
United States or by any state on ac-
count of sex.
Section .. Congress shall have
power, by appropriate legislation, to
enforce the provisions of this article"

indianapolis Younsster Had a Pretty
Shrewd Idea Of What He Was
Doing, After All.

John Arthur is pupil in Jeffer-
sonville departmental school, and had
TO write an essay on Woodrow Wilson,
among others. He evinced such high
regard for the president, especially in
his management of the world war,
as to express the view that he was
even greater than Washington or Lin
coin. He said they made fine show
ing In the little wars they had to han
die, but could hardly, he thought, have
got through the big one. His father,
seeing the essay, ventured the Opin-
ion that the writer was too positive
In his statement, although admlring
Wilson himself. John Arthur showed
he was perhaps something of n dip
lomat as well as an essayist.
