WILSON WORKS DAILY
President Once More Passes
Days at His Desk.
Physician Says He Is Steadily I'm.
proving-WaIles Up and Down
Stairs

Washington, Aug. 20.-President
Wilson, in the language of DR.. Cary
T. Grayson, his personal physician. is
slowly but steadily" improving in
health each day. According to Doctor
Grayson, the president has at least
regained his former weight of l79
pounds He is doing three and 6 half
hours work at his desk and, owing to
his powers of concentration, is per-
forming as much executive work daily
as he ever did, emitting, of course,
seeing visitors.
The president takes physical exer-
else twice each day, walks up and
down stairs once each day to restore
strength to his arms and legs. the use
of which was impaired by his illness,
reads an hour a day by himself and is
read to as much more as he desires,
writes numerous letters and memo
randa and brings to his labors, ac-
cording to Doctor Grayson all the
mental vigor he ever possessed.
Are you satisfied with the presi-
dents progress?'' Doctor Grayson was
asked. "Yes," replied the doctor, and
then he added: 81 must say no to
that question. No physician is ever
satisfied with the progress of any pa
tient until he is entirely well. The
president has made a most remarka-
bic recovery and his progress is sure
and steady. He is getting better each
day. He stands the heat here better
than any man / ever saw"

Amendment.

Lights of the Movement and

Washington. - The United States
gets equal suffrage. Washington and
Tennessee have ratified the constitu-
tional amendment. This makes So
states.
The legislatures of the states Of
Washington and Delaware met in
special session March % to pass upon
the ratification of the woman suffrage
amendment to the Constitution as
passed by congress June 4, 1919:
"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 account of SEX"
In general the situation as to the
ratification of the amendment was as
follows:
Ratification necessary by legisla-
lures of three-fourths of the 4S states
of the Union.
Amendment ratified by 81 states,
beginning with Wisconsin, June 10,
1919, and ending with West Virginia,
March 10, 1920. Ratification in Ohio
before United States Supreme court.
Amendment defeated by six states :
Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, South
Carolina, Virginia and Maryland.
The situation in, the remaining six
states was as follows:
Connecticut and Vermont had no
regular sessions until 1921. Cows.

feet. incidentally Miss Paul herself
served seven terms in JAIL
In 1869 were formed two national
examinations: National Woman Suf-
frage association, with Mrs. Stanton
and Miss Anthony leaders and head
quarters in New York American
Woman Suffrage association, with
Mary A. Livermore, Julia Ward Howe
and Lucy Stone leaders and head
quarters in Boston.
The line of division between them
was this: The former wished to
concentrate on the passage of a con-
stitutional amendment; the latter
was in favor of obtaining the suf-
frage through amendments to state
constitutions. In 1890 the two organ
izations were united under the name
of National American Woman Suf-
fage Association, and work was
pushed along both lines of endeayor.
Mrs. Stanton was president until
1892. Miss Anthony served until
1900, resigning at the age of eighty.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait was it's
head, 19OO-1904. DR.. Anna howard
Shaw, recently deceased and possibly
best loved of all the leaders-a wom-
an of transcendent gifts and elo-
quence-was president until 1915
Mrs. Gait was then again chosen.
Mrs. Frank Leslie left large legacy
to Mrs. Gait to be used in the work.
The National association made ar
rangements at the st. Louis conven-
ton Of 1919 to dissolve its organiza-
ton and become the League of Wom-
en- Voters. These arrangements be-
came effective at the Chicago conven-
tion>in February last. So the League
of Women Voters now holds sway
over something like 100000 po-
tential American women voters.
Mrs. Gait, who is also the head of the
International Woman Suffrage ALI
ance, which she founded in 1904, is
honorary chairman; Mrs. Maud Wood
Park is chairman; Mrs. Richard Ed
wards Of Indiana, treasurer; Mrs.
Scion Jacobs of Alabama, secretary,
| and there is a board of regional di-
! rectors.

INTERESTING BRIEFS

Gathering nuts from the ground has
been made easier by Cailfornian's
invention of a device for the purpose.
In every wine-making department of
France there are vineyards which
have probably never been heard of out
side the French borders, where wines
are produced which are admirable for
consumption in the districts where they
are grown, though they are altogether
unsuited for transit, either by land or
water.
In Japan child is told that if he
kills a cat it will revenge itself for
seven generations; or that if he kills
a frog and watches it's twitchings in
it's death struggles ever after his hand
will tremble when he tries to write.
A kind of bread is made along the
Columbia river by the Indians from a
moss that grows on the spruce fir
tree. This moss is prepared by plac-
ing it in heaps, sprinkling it with
water and permitting it to ferment.
Then it is rolled into balls as big as
mans head, and these are baked in
pits.

ment had refused to call special ses-
sionS.
Florida and Tennessee could not
vote in 1920 because of constitutional
provision.
The Louisiana legislature was sched-
uled to meet in May.
The North Carolina legislature was
to meet in special session in August.
Gov. T. w. Beckett had declared his
intention of asking for ratification.
Washington ratified in March. Del
aware refused in June; Louisiana in
July. Calls for special sessions were
refused by the governors of Connecti-
cut, Florida and Vermont. The Uni
ted States Supreme court upheld the
Ohio ratification, holding that the Uni
ted States Constitution OVERRIDE state
constitutions as to details of ratif1ca-
tion methods. Under this decision
Tennessee called special session to
act on ratification.
1T is 20 years since the organized
movement for woman suffrage was
begun in the United States. In the
first part of the nineteenth century
woman suffrage was spasmodically ad-
vocated in print and from the plat
form. But it was not until 1848 that
Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady
Stanton called a woman suffrage con-
vention at Seneca Falls, N. Y, which
launched a declaration of senti-
ments' and passed a resolution de-
manding equal suffrage.
These are two immortal names in
American history. Lucretia Coffin
Mott (17S3-188O) was born in Nam
tucket, Mass, of Quaker parents.
After teaching, she became an "ac-
knowledged minister of the Friends.
She married James Mott, who worked
with his wife against slavery.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton (l815-19O2)
was born in Johnstown,, N. 7. She
married in 1910 Henry B. Stanton, a
Journalist and anti-slavery speaker.
From 1869 to 1893 she was president
of the National Woman's Suffrage as

For several years after the Civil
war Miss Anthony endeavored to Sc

which would allow women to vote
Finally, in 1872. at Rochester. N. z
she tried to force an Interpretation by
voting at the polls. She was arrested
and fined. She refused to pay the
fine, but was not sent to Jail.
In 1875 Miss Anthony drafted the
amendment to the Constitution which
has now been ratified In 1873 the
amendment was introduced in the
senate by Senator Sargent~of Caiifor-

thereafter was not even debated IN

Alice Paul-the third Quakeress to
