You come mighty nigh fittin the

Manuel looked like we could
knock him down with a toothpick.
But he wouldn't give in that he
was to blame fer all this misun-
derstandin. "Shorely somebuddy

all he would say, as he turned

WATCHES FOR
LADIES IN DEMAND


Chicago, March 2S.-When a
beautiful Lake Shore drive debut
ante fares forth for this seasons
Easter parade, she will wear on her
wrist one of the most exquisite
watches ever designed. Made to
order, the case is Of platinum.
Surrounding the face is a delicate,
tracery design of Easter lilies, in
each of which sparkles a diamond
dew drop.
Casters demand for ladies' wrist
watches was so heavy that some
manufacturers are forced to de-
cline orders for Easter delivery.
Thousands of girls and women
will go to church on this greatest
Sunday wearing new, dainty time
pieces strapped to their wrists,
Nor is the demand confined to
the United States. Manufacturers
all over the country for several
months past have worked at top
speed to fill orders for South
American nations, Spain, Mexico
and the Scandinavian countries.
Apparently the old, time-worn
notion that the foreign workman
is the better craftsman, has given
way before the fact that the Amer
lean workman and American
methods are turning out the very
highest grade of goods, all the way
from dainty watches to locomo-
tives.
The return to civil life of thou
sands of aviators who We're either
in active service or in training, has
given a strong impetus to the de-
mand for wrist witches for men.
Instead of being regarded lightly
as a mark of feminism, the wrist
watch on a man is now recognized
as a mark of utility.

EXISTING LAWS

Washington, March 2S.-Women
in several states may be denied a
vote in tho coming presidential
election despite ratification of the
suffrage amendment before No
vcmber. it is said at the head
quarters of the national woman's
party here, unless changes are
made in registration. laws.
In order that women all over the
United States may register for the
coming November election under
existing laws, ratification must be
completed before May /, 1920, on
which date Georgia closes its reg
istration. Excluding Georgia the
next date is June 80 when regis

nullify the Womon's vote next No
vember in certain of the states, ees-
pecially in the south, unless the
legislatures are willing 10 make
necessary changes in the laws.
Payment of a poll tax is required
in eight of the states; in Virginia
over period of three years before
the election and in Florida and
Louisiana for the two years pre-
vious. Texas law calls for the
pay ment of a poll tax on January

South Carolina on May |.
Pressure will be brought to bear
upon the legislatures, where
necessary, to have registration re-
opened and the laws modified, it
is said here, but women political
leaders hope the changes will be
accomplished without difficulty. In
states where women have not here
toforc been given the privilege of
