Article -, Section l. The right of the 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
 Section 2. Congress shall have power, by appropriate legislation, to enforce the provisions of this afti- cle."
 The amendment holds the record of being before the country longer than any other successful amendment to the constitution. It was introduced as the 16th amendment and has been suc- cessively the 17th, 18th and 18th and has been before every session of congress since it's initial appearance
 During the first 35 years after it's introduction into congress the amend ment made practically no progress and until seven years ago it had not been debated on the floor for 30 years. But the campaign for the movement was slowly but steadily gaining ground in the states.
 Meanwhile Miss Anthony made test of the right of women to cast the ballot by going to the polls and voting. She was arrested and con- victed and, though she refused to pay her fine, was never jailed. She be- came, however, the forerunner of the ''militants" who adopted the forceful tactics of latter days of the campaign
 State after state gradually enfran- chised women citizens. Beginning with Wyoming in 1869 by 1919 six teen states had given women the right to vote, and fourteen states had pres idential suffrage previous to ratifi- cation of the amendment.
 Militancy in the fight for suffrage in America made it's appearance with the formation of the National Wom- ans party in 1913. On the eve of President Wilson's inauguration, 5000 women led by Alice Paul, now the chairman of the party, attempted to march from the capitol to the white house. They were harassed by a hos tile crowd which oyeran an unsympa- thetic police and the capital of the United States had it's first experience with suffrage riots.
 Continuing their demonstrations over a period of seven years members of the women's party picketed the white house With banners in their hands and served terms in jail for the disturbances of the peace which grew out of their parades and block ade of the executive mansion. During the last few months before the adop- tion of the amendment the militants redoubled their exertions. Several demonstrations were held on the steps of the capitol and on New Years Day, 1919, watch fires were lighted in front of the white house in which every speech made by President Wilson in Europe on Democracy and self-govern- ment was burned. The acts, however, were disavowed by the National As sociation.

A new fire truck received at Fair banks short time ago was found to have been damaged in transit. It had the appearance of having been dropped in a sling. The city council at first was not going to accept it, but finally decided to have it repaired, as none of the breaks were serious.

WOMEN WIN RIGHT TO VOTE

The ratification today of the suf- frage amendment to the constitu- tion ends a struggle which began in this country before the colonies de- clared their independence. It will eventually enfranchise 25,OOOOO0 wom- en in this country.
 Woman suffrage first raised it's voice in America in | Maryland in 1647 when Mistress Margaret Brent, heir of Lord Calvert, demanded 8 place in the legislature of the colony as property holder of wide extent. And in the days of the Revolution Abigail Adams wrote ':her husband John Adams at the continental con- gress which was framing the laws of the infant nation that, "if, in the new laws, particular care and attention are not paid to the ladies, we are deter mined to foment a rebellion and will not hold ourselves bound to obey the laws in which we have no voice."
 Organized work for woman suffrage began in the United States with the Woman's Rights convention at Sena- ca Falls, N. Y, in 1S4S, and which was called by Lucretia Mott and Eliza beth Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, early leaders of Massachusetts and New York, in response to<an indigna- ton aroused by the refusal to permit women to take part in the anti-slav- cry convention of 184O From the date of that convention the suffrage movement in the United States began the fight that lasted seventy years and ended with victory. Another con- Vention followed in 1852 at Syracuse, N Y, at which delegates from Cana da were present and it was there that Susan B. Anthony assumed the lead ership of the cause to which she de- voted her life.
 In 1869 the National Woman Suf- frage Association, with Miss Anthony and Mrs. Stanton at it's head was formed in New York and in the same year the American Woman Suffrage Association was organized in Cleve- land with Lucy Stone and Julia Ward Howe as it's leaders. At first differ ing widely in policy, the National As sociation working to put a suffrage amendment through the federal con- gross and it's sister organization bend ing it's efforts to convert the country state by state, the two associations later united under the name of the National Woman Suffrage Association and the Associations drive for the vote was led in turn by Mrs. Stanton Miss Anthony, Dr. Anna Howard Shaw and Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt. the latter of whom is now president.
 The nineteenth amendment, which bears her name, was drafted by Miss Anthony in 1875 and was first intro duced in congress in 1878 by Senator A. A. Sargent of California; and it is in the same language that the new principle of the national law reads:

But the greatest surprise Tanlac

She lost her appetite. as time

nervous, and could scarcely get
any sleep at night.
Most Of the time during these
years the muscles Of her limbs
seemed to be drawn In knots, and
her Joints were swollen to two or

the temperate species are here repre-
take the place OF the northern types.
The Everglades owe their charac-
teristic features of marsh. sloughs. and
shallow ponds, to their recent origin
and their slight elevation above the
sea level. Their general surface Is
not high enough to permit the forma-
tlOn of deep valleys by eroding
streams; and the water appears to
ooze slowly seward. on the west side
toward the southwest and on the east
side toward the southeast.
Royal Palm State park of course
takes Its name from the royal palms
CRoystonia regia) which possibly form
Its chief ornament. These splendid
palms often rise to height of 100
feet, dwarllng most OF their competi-
tors of the palm family. A worthy
rival is the magnificent live oak (Quer-
Gus Virglniana), which sometimes
spreads Its moss-covered branches over
an area 200 feet In diameter. In the
way of curious forest growths is the
poison tree (Metopium taxiferum), a
giant sumach with smooth spotted
trunk; Its sap acts very much on the
human skin like the poison Ivy of the
north. Another tree to be catalogued
among the curiosities Is the strangling
fig (Ficus aurea). 1t begins life some
what like a mlstletoe, sprouting from
a tiny seed dropped on the limb of n
tree. 1t soon sends down threads
which take root when they reach the
ground. and which grow together wher-
ever they touch one another, forming
a meshwOrk about the trunk of the
host which is strangled to death. The
photographs reproduced herewith
shows a stranglIng fig embracing a
cabbage palm.
The list of beautiful and Interesting
trees is long. Some Of the more strIk
ing are the gumbolimbo (Eiaphr,um
