President Wilson has telegr3phed

amendment
May / not as democrat. the
President said. express my deep IN
terest in the suffrage amendment ana
my Judgment that it would be OF tne
greatest service to the party II every
democrat in the Delaware lesisiatuie
voted for it,.
The message went to Assemblymen

NcNabb, democrats. who are sald mere
to have opposed ratification OF the

session of the Delaware legislature
met for its final session TO-DAY win

suffrage federal amendment still IT

where its opponents predict it VIII be
allowed to die.
Both houses passed concurrent
resolution last Friday to adjourn
sine die today, and as a two-thlrds
vote is necessary to bring the sur
frage measure from committee IL was
generally agreed that unless the anti
suffrage members are Wiling IL Will
not come before the house again.
say sunraEists Have Lost Votes.
After being defeated by the lower
house. the resolution was passed by
the senate on May D, but fearing a
second defeat. suffrage advocates sue
ceeded in preventing its being mes
saged to the house until last Fri
day. Meanwhile every effort was made
to bring about change of sentiment
in the lower house. Anti-suffragists
declare. however, that instead of in
creasing their strength. the suffrag-
lists have lost one or two votes since
the resolution was defeated by the
house early in the session.

WANT DEMOCRATIC
PRIMARIES IN SCHOOLS
Correspondents of The Star Give
Reasons Why They Should
Be So Held.
To the Editor of The Star:

If true. as stated in the columns of
The Sunday Star, that the democratic
District central committee went on
record against holding the coming
primary in our public schools, will
you kindly give the writer space in
your paper to ask the reasons? Dis
trict republicans recently held their
election in the schoolhouses. There
are three good reasons why the CEN
trail committee should have agreed
10 hold the primary in the public
schools-iirst. il would add prestige
and dignity to the campaign; second.
it would reduce materially the cost
of the campaign, thus making it pos
sible for good and loyal democrats
with limited means to enter the race
for it is understood that all expenses
will have to be borne by the candi-
dates. third, the democratic ad-
ministration stands for woman suf-
frage. the central committee cannot
AFFORD to deny the women a right to
vote in the coming primary; there
fore. where would sbe a more fitting
place to hold the election in order
TO give every democratic woman an
opportunity to express her choice than
in our public schools?
The real live issues that will come
before the democratic convention,
which will not only effect the District
OF Columbia. but the nation as well.
are Sutia lndl Ine democratic voters In
the District have right to know how
every candidate stands. This is no
time for evasion. Misrepresentation or
subterfuge.
ANDREW WILSON (Attorney)
To the Editor Of The Star:
AS a mother and one interested in
the success of the democratic party
in the coming national election, may /
not use the columns of your paper
10 urge the democratic District CEN
trail committee to hold the democratic
primary in the public schools? Moth
ers. wives and daughters would ap-
preciate having an opportunity to
vote. and the schoolhouses are the
proper places to hold such election
the atmosphere is purer and more
healthy. MRS. A. L. CURTIS

w VILE the blizzard ragged yester-
w day afternoon and night, all
was gladness and sunshir1'
within the portals Of the Hippodrome.
From the time when Pollyanna romp-
ed into the first scene until the final
curtain, two good sized audiences fol-
lowed the fortunes Of the little heroine
laughing when she laughed and crying
in sympathy with the little "glad girl"
whenever. and 1t was seldom, she was
assailed by troubles. And then when
at last. Pollyanna returned from
abroad completely cured OF the paral-
ysis that resulted from the automobile
accident, and was bear-hugged and
kissed by an the men and cried over
by all the women, there was scarcely
q man or woman in the audience but
regretted not being a member OF the
cast.
And what a metamorphosis the glad
Girl made in the other characters. The
waited hypochondriasis the aunt who
thought she had killed within herself
all vestiges of the milk of human
Kindness, the doctor who thought him.
self confirmed bachelor, all came
within the humanizing influence of the
little glad girl and were made to see
the error of their ways. Even the
fat little Newfoundland pup lugged
in by Pollyanna in the first act, was
introduced five years later a thorough
bred Airedale, who wiggled himself
all over under the magic influence Of
the little glad girls caresses.
Mildred Jerome, "the littlest lead
ing lady."is mot was) Pallyanna, and
a better a1l-round cast would be diff
cult to find.
Eugene Mcdonald played his part
with a quiet dignity and showed him
self every inch the king" OF Polly
Annals fairy tale.
The new members of the company,
Blanche Bigden and Harry Carnsdale
gave satisfaction in their roles Of the
servant girl and the orphan. Phil
Maher has the part of the doctor that
must have been made especially for
him. Myrtle Bigden as the aunt who
finds herself when the little girl is
carried in after the accident, was in
perb, in her display OF contrition for
her hard Treatment of the little or
rhan in the past, and also in her
light comedy scene in the last act.
Charles Brown as the butler, had the
thankless part, with the added mis-
fortune Of being the only member OF
the company who was not Rugged or
kissed by Pollyanna at some time in
the course of the play.
The Gassidys scored with their pat
ter and several new songs, one OF
which about the K. OF c. went over
big q
Harry Carnsdale sang two songs
and made a distinct hit.

He said he had not decided just what
action he would propose to combat
teachers resignations. He hopes to
have some suggestions from the ma
tional commissioner of education, P. P
Claxton. who will attend the conference.
Low salaries are only one of several
causes for the teacher shortage, accord
ing to julius H. Barnes. chairman OF
the Institute for Public Service, who
has sent letter to educators through
out the country who are in a position
to inform young people about the re.
wards of teaching.
Characterizing the present shortage
of school teachers as "appalling," Mr.
Barnes says: "Do you believe it would
help appreciably if our leading colleges
and universities were to have the re-
wards and social significance of teach
ing attractivey presented not once but
several times-at assemblies, in classes,
to Individuals between now and June?
Will your interest in the subject jus

Idea Women May Lose
Ridiculed by Miss Hay
Statement From Washington
Called ''Dying Gasp" of Anti
Suffragists

Miss Mary Garrett Hay, suffragist
leader, yesterday characterized as "the
dying gasp Of the anti-suffrage associ-
alton" statement sent out from head
quarters of the National Association
Opposed to Woman Suffrage by Mary
&. kilbreth, president of the organiza-
ton, in which it was declared that "the
vote of Delaware could not carry the
suffrage amendment"
I'm the most improbable event that
Delaware as we'll as Washington ratifies
the Federal suffrage amendment" the
statement reads, "and if West Virginia
legally can be counted, the people of
Ohio cannot be deprived Of their right
to vote by referendum upon the amend
ment in November.
Until they so have voted the state
of Ohio has not cast her vote. Without
Ohio. West Virginia, Washington and
Delaware only make thirty -fve-one
short of the necessary number. 1t looks
as if Delaware was going to pass on
the merits of the question. Every day
makes us more confident that Delaware
will assert her dignity as state"
Miss Hay said she felt certain Della
ware would ratify the amendment. In
the matter of Ohio, she said, the Su-
appeal in that state, and she counted
Ohio as a suffrage state until the Su-
preme Court acted.
"Besides,' she added, "we consider
that other states soon will ratify. Con-
necticut and Vermont will join US with
out much doubt, and there are other
states that will come in. We feel no
fear Of the number of states that will
line up for suffrage"
