It was for their washing by the hydraulic pro- cess that the ill-fated Walnut Grove dam was constructed on the Hassa- yampa.

One hundred and eighteen young

and several distinguished themselves
for bravery in the Argonne fighting.
Standing Rock is Sitting Bulls old

he made his home after his return

he was killed by Indian police during

battle of Wounded Knee.

MOVIES VIE WITH WOMEN |

Interest in Contest in Pennsylvania
Seems to Be Concentrated in
Congressional Districts.
Special Dispa tch to The Star,


HARRISBURG, Pa, October "a
what campaign of statewide char
acter there is under way in Pennsyl-
vania seems to have been started by
the women of the two major parties.
Ihey are conducting a more or less
vigorous series of tours. of industrial
counties of the state. especially the
coal regions. and have galvanized
some local leaders into action with
the result that old-time political
meetings will once more mark the
final week of the campaign.
The organized republican women.
who have been having numerous
meetings for instruction of their sis
tiers in issues of the campaign and
marking of the ballot in the county
towns of Pennsylvania, have d "fy-
ing squadron. Of woman speakers
speakers are Mrs. Barclay J. warbur-
ton, daughter of John Wanamaker
and womens state chairman: Mrs
Clifford Pinchot. Mrs. Lillian Russell
Moore and others. They have been
touring the anthracite counties.
where there are hot congressional bat
ties, the last few days and observ-
ers declare they have been the means
OF arousing many woman voters. The
democratic woman speakers include
Miss Mary Archer of Reading. Jean
kean Foulke of Chester county, Mrs
r. c. Renshaw of Allegheny county
and others. who have been rein
forced with some speakers from
Washington and promises of gov
ernors from North Carolina and else
where in the south.
The democratic campaign has been
marked by little statewide effort,
except by the women. and by the alb
sence from the stump of Attorney
General A. Mitchell Palmer and 9TH
ers of his wing of the party. Vance
c. Mccormick. the former democratic
national chairman. has been making
addresses in his home city on the
league of nations. but that is about
all he has been doing. But Palmer
and his friends have their men on
guard in the state organization and
are not much concerned about what
the national committee plans for
Pennsylvania, either this year or next.
Congressional contests have been
raging even more bitterly than in
1918. For the first time the moving
picture. which has been employed in
state campaigns here for years, has
been put to work by congressional
candidates. and stars of the screen
alternate with President Wilson and
national figures.
