RAISING sUNKEN TREASURE
(From the Rocky Mountain News)

tFrom the Rocky Mountain News)
Some time ago 1t was announced that
an effort would be made by an English
company organized for the purpose to
raise some of the vessels sunk by Ger
man submarines or. where this could
not be done. to enter them and obtain
money or other treasure or property not
injured by water. Certain American
Inventions were expected to be used in
the enterprise. one mentioned at the
time being a new diving apparatus
whereby the water pressure was much
lessened. making it possible to go to
lower depths than formerly.
Whether or not this contrivance has
operated as expected is not stated. but
already these salvage operations have,
1t Is said, resulted In the recovery of
s250,O00,oo0 of treasure from the bottom of
the sea round about the British Isles.
No ships have been raised, but two ves-
sells bought by the British company from
the American navy are engaged in
salvage work and are equipped with a
new device, an oxyaceteylene flame that
can be worked under water and is used
for cutting holes in the sides of SUBJ
merged vessels. From one sunken vessel
alone 100000 in gold was recovered.
The salving ships are equipped with
the latest searchlights, line throwing
guns hosting machinery, rock drills and
all the devices available for such service.
The field of operations Is great, for 1t is
estimated that 100000 tons of shipping
were sunk by enemy action during the
war, and while some of these ships can
not be reached and in any case would
perhaps not repay the effort having had
perishable cargoes, there are many car
goes and much machinery or parts of

THE INTERCHURCH MOVEMENT

In another column appears commune
cation quoting utterances by different
publications in opposition to the World
Inter-Church Movement. 1t Is somewhat
late in the day for any person or publica-
tion to decry cooperation in any great
cause. Every intelligent person knows
that German militarism could never have
been overcome except by the effective CO.
operation of American and the entente
allies. France alone would not have been
able to hold the Germans a month. Rus
STA, much as we may bewail its present
course, must be given grateful credit for
helping to hold the Kaiser's forces until
America could be aroused from the sleep
Of SNUG complacency. Britain and
French authorities now alike concede
that without the aid Of America Germany
would have eventually won the war.
The Inter-Church Movement is not only
a cooperation Of forces to fight the ire
mendous forces arrayed against them at
this time, but it is also intended to pre-
vent the duplication Of effort and so to
to make 1t thus possible to reach out into
new fields. It is difficult to understand
how much world movement for Chris
tian uplift can be regarded with apprehen-
sion by anybody except the champions
Of narrow denominationalism.

MEDICAL COLLEGE OPEN TO
WOMEN

An event OF reaching significance
and Importance is the opening Of the Col
lege Of Medicine of the University of Yer
mont to women students.
college TO women would have been re-
garded as revolutionary. At least 1t might
have created a revolt in certain schools
Of medicine. AS the situation is to-day.
this step is recognized as a distinct ad-
vance in service. In the first place wom-
an in the practice Of medicine Ia no longer
an experiment In the second place IL is
now recognized that women have dis
tinct and fitting field in medicine and its
allied branches. In the third place there

apparently can be supplied In no othe,
way In the fourth place woman are es.
pecially adapted to the care Of ,atcnts.
and they will be able to perform a much
needed service in response to an ever in
creasing demand.
In opening the college of medicine to
women the University authorities are not
only helping to provide a new field to the
women of the region but they are also
responding especially to the call OF rura
communities which in so many instances
now have no resident physician. In othel

Even the most humble work of the
mother is far more important than

whose work is copyrighted in the

article for which she is paid hand
somely. She recommends the Yer

fruit. She gives recipes gathered In
Vermont for berry biscuit" berry
bread" fruit shortcake with cream
sauce" for afternoon teas, berry muf-
dns." "Old time buttermilk pudding"
berry farm pudding" and 30 on. In
her Introduction this famous writer
says:

those clinging associations are Other

WHY PLANTS TURN TO THE LIGHT

Plants and animals have many factors
In common; they both respond to certain
stimuli from without, and turn toward,
or away from, this source of action.
These turning movements are called
"tropisms." and the most common of
these is ono which we can observe every
day when a plant bends toward the sun,
or the source of light. This particular
tropism is called "helio-tropism' (form
the Greek Hel!os. SUM. The leaves of
plants seek the light for the reason that
the chemical activity which goes on
within them only proceeds in the
presence of sunlight. This Is tho So
called chlorophyl action, and 1t Is due to
the presence of this substance
chlorophyl in the leaf, which makes it
green. When the sun strikes the plant
this chemical action begins. and pro-
ceeds rapidly-and food for the plant is
thereby manufactured. The onset Of
darkness stops this. and even a passing
cloud will halt it's activity apprecably.
Plants and animals are said to he
positively hclotropic when they turn
toward the source of light and negatively
helitropc when they turn away from IT..
Light tends to stimulate the chemical
activities of the body, particularly the
oxidations. Hence, II both sides are
stimulated equally. the creature some
times tends to move directly toward the
Lighter even right into II. as IN the case
of the moth. Whether an animal Is
positively or negatively heliotropic
depends upon whether Light causes all in
crease or decrease in the tension OF the
muscles. 1t Is thought certain acid is
created in the animals body which pro-
duces these results. Prof Jacques Loeb
has even APPLIED these facts to ethics and
psychology. Carrington. In

VERMONT AND SUFFRAGE

The Republican party as a national or.
is unreservedy committed to
the promotion Of political justice for
women. Vermont republicans are being
put in the attitude Of opposition to ma
tional republication by one man simply
because he happens to be in a position
TO misrepresent the Republican party In
Vermont in this as we'll as other issues.
You can not conceive Of Vermont repub-
lcans opposing protection for American
industries and the products Of American
labor, nor 100 per cent Americanism in
other connections. How can we consist
emily claim to be genuine republicans II
we oppose the national party on this is-
sue of suffrage and political justice for
women. which at this time completely
overshadows the protection issue? Here
is what the st. Adams Messenger says
on the subject:
william Howard Taft points out to
Governor Clement the responsibility a
governor assumes in not calling a special
session OF the legislature, and thereby
preventing his State from acting on the
equal suffrage amendment With Yer
mont's vote needed to make the amend
ment effective, the responsibility assumes
enormous proportions, but up to this time
Governor Clement has seemed willing to
hear it. The Messenger is forced to the
conclusion that Governor Clement has as
yet advanced no sound reason for this re.
fusal, and it hopes that he will be guild
ed by the advice and counsel Of good
republicans and give the people Of the
State. through their representatives, an
opportunity to give State expression OF
this question before it is too Late
The Rutland News speaks of this sub.
ject from another angle as follows:
There are some evidences that the ad.
vocates Of women suffrage in Vermont
believe Governor Clement is going te
thaw out sufficiently to call a special SEES
sion OF the Legislature for tho purposs
Of taking action on the proposed equa
suffrage amendment to the federal con
stitution. 1t is almost too much to hope
however, because His Exceilency's habit,
OF thought stamp him as one opposed t.
change of any sort. and unless furthe
political aspirations lead him to bow Il
the dictates OF expediency it would b.
strange indeed to see Mr.. Clement lend
ing his support to any departure from
the established order"
| Governor Clement has been trying (,

TAFT AGREES WITH

Only Fair to Call Special Session o
Legislature. He Declares

That the eyes of the country are on

fragists do not lack advocates and sup
porters in the very seats of the mighty,

that was received Friday morning, by
Mrs. Lillian H. Olzendam. at her head
quarters in the Hotel Vermont in this
city. request to Mrs. Olzendam that
she forward the telegram to Governor
Clement was Immediately complied with.
and, as the telegram was In his hands
Friday. II Is now to be made public
that Vermonters may have the benefit OF
all the opinions of weight that are now
being received in regard to the expediency
of a special session of the Legislature
to ratify the federal suffrage amend
ment. The telegram follows:
Paris, Texas, April S, 1920.
Lillian H. Olzendam,
Burlington. VT.
Forward the following to Governor
Clement. "Your Excellency: Earnestly
urge upon you the calling of a special
session of the Vermont Legislature TO
consider the question of ratifying the
woman suffrage amendment to the
federal constitution. Now that more than
forty States have voted on the issue and
thrity-f1ve have ratified the amendment
1t seems only fair that the competent
authorities In the other States who have
not acted should give their Legislatures
an opportunity to act before the next
presidential election. 1t would seem to
be great responsibility for o governor to
assume to prevent his State from taking
action where so much depends upon tho
State action. The Republican party is
fully committed to woman suffrage and
it is greatly in the interest of the party
that republican governors should recog-
nize this and act on it. / take the liberty
of appealing to you therefore to call your
Legislature.
