MRS. COOLIDGE ISSUES CALL

Young women are needed in poll

This is the belief of Mrs. Calvin

on life. will bring much TO the politi-
cal parties with which they affiliate.
Every young women should feel
that she has a responsibility as a vot-
ing citizen. / believe that this is the
new call which universal suffrage has
brought to the younger generation of
women in this country"
Women Of the University OF Yer
mont celebrated their induction into
voting citizenship by forming the Col

since Mrs. Coolidge is an alumna of
this university. they elected her an
hnOrary member by acclamation.
1t is good for college women to
form organizations of this sort" COM
mented Mrs. Coolidge 1T is a Won
derful opportunity. while they are in
college, to make citizenship a spec

have the vote. Real citizenship must
have a big, broad outlook upon life:
IL must feel an interest in the indi-
viduals of a nation as well as its
government.

not only gives these people a chance

them better citizens. but helps the

ward good citizenship.
Other groups of girls-girls who
work in clubs outside of factory

PUT MONEY IN ROAD
TO BENEFIT PUBLIC

Twenty-four citizens of Rock Hall
and Chestertown signed four notes
I for $5,200 each last week on each of
the four banks of Chestertown, as
their share of a fund of $4,000 with
which to build that section of road
leading from the town of Rock Hall
to the landing of the Rock Hall Bal
timore ferry, on Chesapeake bay. The
County Commissioners have agreed to
appropriate a like sum, and when the
Maryland Legislature meets, two
years hence, Governor Ritchie has
agreed to include in his budget the
amount advanced by private citizens
for the building of the road. The
State Road Commission has advertis-
ed for bids for the construction of the
road, and as soon as the contract is Z
awarded work will begin.
The citizens of Rock Hall and Ches-
tertown recognize the great value Of
this improVent to the shipping and
traffic interests of the county and for
this reason have invested their money
in the enterprise in order that the
public may have the benefit of the
new road as speedily as possible, and
not wait for the next session of the
legislature to appropriate the money.
rhe ferry company has stated that it
positively will not change the pres ,
mt schedule until the road is COM /
,leted, as the traffic over the worn
,ut dirt road does not justify the put 7
ing on of a second boat. :

Fine Memorial to Edith caveIi.

In quarry, midway between Bod
win and Camelford, on the moors of
North Cornwall, England, a memorial
is being fashioned out of granite in
memory of Nurse Cavell One of the
huge pieces Is nearing completion un-
der the guidance of Sir George Framp-
ton, who is giving his services free.
This figure represents a woman with
arms half upraised, holding a little
child on her lap, while underneath, on
the base of the monument, is carved a
cross. The group is symbolical of the
stronger nations protecting the smaller
and weaker ones, while the cross is the
emblem of mercy. The whole group is
carved In the form of a cross, giving
special significance to the order to
which Nurse Cavell belonged Another
huge block Of granite near by has big
lion carved on it, with head erect and
name bristling Trampled beneath it's
feet is serpent, writhing, but defeat
ed. The total weight of the memorial,
when finished, will be about ITO tons,
with a height of about 40 feet. The
group probably will be erected near
the British National gallery.
