PROVIDE SCHOOLS FOR
 NEW WOMEN VOTERS


 "The outstanding though in women's minds today is thanlkulness and le- lief" said Miss Katherine Ludington, President of the c. W. s. A., after re- ceiving news of Tennessee's ratification of the Federal Suffrage Amendment. "A seventy-year struggle to make Amer ica a democracy in fact as it was in profession, is successfully ended. Now we shall be on ou guard to see that our possession of the franchise is made secure-and that the necessary faclli- ties are provided for the registration and the vote of the new women citizens. Governor Holcomb has promised that af- ter the 36th state ratified, he would call a special session of the legislature to povirde these facilities. so Connecticut women are safe on that score.'
 We shall immediately turn our at tention to providing schools for ths new women voters and making plans for ehe formation of a League of Women vot- CTS.
 "As to which of the major parties did the most toward our enfranchise- ment, I suppose there will always be a controversy which can only be settled by an accurate study of their records

MOTORISTS ARE QUIZZED
Signs Posted Along The National Pike
Startle Speeders on The Highway

Motorists travelling eastward on the
National Pike Monday were startled
when confronted by a bold white sign
with large black letters informing
them to Prepare to Meet Your God"
The sign was only one of many that
have been prominently and very re-
Gently placed between Addison, Pa,
and Grantsville by an evangelistic
sect.
Most of the signs have been posted
near the scenes of recent accidents on
the pike, and all of them are Biblical
quotations. Some Of the signs, such
as GLOW Will You Spend Eternity ?"
Repent From Your SINS" caused
more than one motorist to slow down
from so to 80 or less miles per hour
for almost minute after getting a
glimpse of one of the signs.
Some of the motorists are wonder
ing if some evangelist has sense of
humor or means it seriously.
The signs have not added any to the
joys of motoring, especially for those
friends who have been invited to go
along with some fool driver and are
mentally wondering if the undertaken
will fix them up in good shape before
they are viewed by their relatives and
friends.

we have the dream of League of
Nations which is already in process
of dissolution. France, we are told,
has decided to have nothing to do
with it as a super-power in national
affairs. 1t sent its representative to
the Hague, where the genius of Elihu
Root was invoked, to assist in the 6r.
ganization OF world court which
was conceived in the Hague Confer
ence years ago. What has this League
Accomplished, anyhow? Poland and
Szecho- -Slovakia were asked by the
Council of the League to submit their
differences to the Council for settle
ment, but there was no difference
between them in their refusal to re-
spond to the call. Persia, hard
pressed by Soviet Russia, who is wag-
ing a war of conquest upon her, ap-
pealed to the League for aid, but it
was denied her, while the League
continued a policy of 'watchful wait
ing to see just what the BolsheYiki
will do. Poland, member of the
League, in the midst of life-and-
death struggle against Russia, ap-
pealed in vain to tn eLeague for pro-
lection from the blood-thirsty Boil
shevists who are now hammering at
the gate of Warsaw. But nothing is
done; on the contrary, England, the
foremost power of the League, hav-
ing six votes to each of the other
Powers, instead of instigating League
action, entirely ignores it and gives
countenance and material aid to Rus
sia by proposing to open to Russia
full trade relations.

the cornerstone of democracy and

STATE TO CONSTRUCT EIGHTY

Bids Will Be Asked Imm ediately For
Lateral Improvements in Counties

The State Roads Commissions 1920
1921 lateral road building program
including the construction of about
85 miles of highways in stretches
ranging from to miles, will connect
up some of the missing links" in the
highway system of the State.
There are some of the counties that
will not be included in the program
given out at this time. However, the
roads that are included in the pro-
gram, and will be advertised for bids
yet this week, represent some badly
needed work, some Of which has been
promised to the counties for two or
three years. The commission will pro-
ceed with the work of letting out the
contracts with the understanding
that the funds are to be provided by
the Board of Public Works in the alb
sorption of the general road bonds by
the sinking fund. This was arranged
last week following the failure of the
board to secure bids on the 81 500, 900
proposed general road bond issue that
were close enough to par.
Most of the road stretches in the
outlined program are connecting links
that have been badly needed.
The roads to be built under the lat
eral road plan, as outlined by the COM
mission, include, for Garrett county:
