The only temperance teaching
which reaches the heavily populated
sections bordering the Persian Gulf
is that which has been introduced in
an American mission school at Busra,
Arabia. Whisky has been consumed
mostly by Armenians, Jews and Chal-
deans, but the traffic is rapidly in
creasing among the Mohammedans,
who are taught from the cradle to
be abstainers.

The woman was the author Of n
cookery book that had been published
at her request with wide margins and
occasional blank pages for notes and
additional recipes.
Often she had expressed a wish to
see an old copy of the book and find
to what use the blank pages had
been put. One day in a secondhand
book store her husband unearthed an
old volume. Noticing that it had been
annotated freely, he bought it. After
day or two he said:
'How about the notes in that cock
cry book? Were they Interestingly"
"No." she said curtly; ''they didn't
amount to anything"
When he got a chance he looked
through the book himself. Every note
the book contained was a remedy for
dyspepsia and kindred ailments =

The North Carolina legislature was

IT 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 adj
vocated in print and from the plat
form. But it was not until 1S4S that
Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady
Stanton called a womf 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 (1793-1SS0) was born in Nan.
tucket, Mass, of Quaker parents
After teaching, she became an sac.
knowledged minister" of the Friends
She married James Mott, who worked
with his wife against slavery.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1S15-1902)
was born in Johnstown,, N. Y. She
married in 1910 Henry B. Stanton, g
journalist and anti-slavery speaker
From 1869 to 1898 she was president
of the National Woman's Suffrage as
soci9tion.

beth Cady Stanton in organizing the
woman suffrage movement. She be-
came in time the real leader of the
movement; certainly she was it's mill
tant suffragist. Born in Adams, Mass,
she came of Quaker stock, and early
devoted herself to Temperance" (the
prohibition of those days) and to the
abolition Cf slavery.
For several years after the Civil
war Miss Anthony endeavored to Sc
cure an Interpretation of the four
teenth and fifteenth amendments
which would allow women to vote.
Finally, in 1872, at Rochester, N. Y
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 Califor-
MIA. 1t was defeated in 1887 and
thereafter was not even debated in
congress until 1914.
During the years the constitutions
al amendment campaign was making
no progress the women won many vic
tories in the states. They received
full suffrage in 15, presidential suf-
frage in u and partial suffrage in sew
eral others.
The National American Woman
Suffrage association in 1912 opened
headquarters in Washington and be-
gan an active campaign for the
passage of the amendment.
The National Woman's party, or
ganized in 1910 by Alice Paul, estab-
lished Washington headquarters in
1913 and introduced the militant into
the campaign.
Alice Paul-the third Quakeress to
immortalize herself-is the spectacu.
lar figure of the struggle. She is a
practical politician and developed the
| deadliest card index on members OF
congress that practical politics has
ever seen. Pretty soon she was serv

feet. Incidentally Miss Paul herself
served seven terms in jail.
In 1869 were formed two national
organizations: 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 endeavor.
Mrs. Stanton was president until
1892. Miss Anthony served until
1900, resigning at the age of eighty.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait was its
head, 1900-1904. 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 a large legacy
to Mrs. Gait to be used in the work.
The National association made ar
rangements at the st. Louis conven-
tion 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 27,OO0,OOO po-
tential American women voters.
Mrs. Gait, who is also the head of the
International Woman Suffrage alli-
ance, which she founded in 1904, is
honorary chairman; Mrs. Maud Wood
Park is chairman; Mrs. Richard Ed
wards of Indiana, treasurer; Mrs.
Solon Jacobs of Alabama, secretary,
and there is board of regional di-
| rectors.
