MODERN WOMAN
 IS EXPECTED ID BAKE AND MAKE

The statement was made recently at one of OUT educational conventions that E&men nowadays want wives who can make dollars as well as dough nuts.'' That must have given a ter rible shock to any Darbys or loans who might have been present, and, of course, the statement did not get by without a protest from one mere man that "-1f women continue to so into employment, We will have to get somebody to make homes-''
 The Federal Board for Vocational Education, one of Uncle Sans agencies concerned with the boy and girl problem, is of the opinion, how ever, that the modern woman, to be inc perfect woman, should be able to
 do both Realizing the important part the home plays in the economic wei fare of the nation and, in order to maintain the high standard of eff fic5ency for industry, the Board in 1919 F'ederalIy aided 59S schools
 teaching home economics and AIS sch ools teaching trades and indus tries.
 It is estimated that, in 1919, there were Ii ,000, ,00o women and girl wage earners, anr an industrial survey of New York City disclosed that four out of every five girls had depend ents and were forced into the field of industry by necessity
 The 1910 United States Census Re port shows that 47 per cent of the ! entire female population of the Unit l ed States are, or hove been, married; | that one out of every four women 1 Das q, wage earner; and one out ot l every four wage earners a married 1 woman
 ] In it's Third Annual Report, the Federal Board for Vocational Educa- 1 lion states that there are more per ! sons engaged in home making than ir l any other single occupation; tha1 i there were about 25, ,000,O00 womer l of twenty or more years of age il l the United States in 1910, of whom l 50 per cent were married, and as l sumes that it is but fair to say tha as large 9 proportion of the girl. l under twenty years of age will event 1 uaIIy marry,
 From the above it would seem tha ] man need not fear the entrance O l woman in industry for by tradition 1 and instinct, home making is wo 1 mans exclusive job and her influence
 will always be found for the better ment Of society, protection of human
 life, and for the happiness and wei fare of mankind.

WOMEN MAYL0SE VOTE DESPITE
 RATIFICATION
State Regulations May Pre- vent Voting This
 Fall

Washington, March 27.-Women in several states may be denied a vote in the coming Presidential election despite ratification of the Suffrage Amendment before November, it is said at the headquarters of the Ma tional Wioman'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 eN- isting laws, ratification must be com pleted before May 1, 1920, on which date Georgia closes it's registration. Excluding Georgia the next date is June 30 when registration closes in Rhode Island. Registration in all other states does not close until Sep ten8ber or October by which time suffrage leaders are confident the amendment will be ratified.
 Other requirements, however, be- side the element of time may nullify the women's vote next November in certain of the states, especially in the South, unless the legislatures are willing to make necessary changes in the laws. Payment of a poll tax Is required in eight of the states; i'll Virginia over a 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 1, Ala bama and Mississippi on February 1 and North Carolina and South Caro- lima on May l.
 Pressure will be brought to beal upon the legislatures, where neces- sary, to have registration re-openeC and the laws modified, it is said here
 but women political leaders hope the changes will be accomplished with out difficulty. In states where Wo- ] men have not heretofore been giver
 the privilege of fulfilling the neces- sary requirements, provision shoulc be made for the into go to the polls this November if the amendment ratified in time, they assert.
 No opposition to the operation o1 the suffrage amendment in strongly anti-suffrage states, similar to tactic. employed in the South to limit thu negro vote after the passage of tht | fifteenth amendment, is considered | likely by suffragists here.

all my work. You c.sll publish my testi- monial and hope the Compound will do others the good it has done me."-Mrs. ANNA JOHNSTON, 206 E. 4lst Street, Chicago, III.
 For forty years women have been telling how Lydia E. Pinkham's vege- table Compound has restored their health when suffering with female ills. This accounts for the enormous demand for it from coast to coast. If you are troubled with any ailment peculiar to women why don't you try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound? It is made from native roots and herbs and contains no narcotics or harmful drugs.
