If ''Antis" Keep Hands ; Off Shephard-Towne
 Bill Will Be Law

And why not?" Mrs. Rourke wax ed indignant During this congress s6oo.ooo has been appropriated for the Navy; s5o0.ooo for the Army; and S20o,0Oo goes, no one knows where. Why not protect these en- bryo soldiers and sailors, for whose care later in life so much is appro- priated?
 But I'm sure that the bill will pass the House. It was held up in the House last session and that is probably what will happen to it this time I have discussed the matter at length with Schuyler Merritt, rep resentative from this district and he has promised with his committee to vote for it. Many others have re- Sponded favorably to my important ues-in fact, they all seem to think it is a good measure and a needed one, but there is so much to do anu is what makes me fear for its pas sage That, and the activities of the anti-suffrag gists who are opposing the measure simply because the Suffra- glStS are for it It is spite, more or less, and it seems to me that it is to be deprecated.
 And please say this" concluded Mrs Rourke, 'the women who have gone to Washington from all over the country, myself included have defrayed their own expenses, every anc1al help given to us by the League or Women Voters, as so many haV> thought But we have all been only too Willing to do it because we be- leve in the measure, and feel il to be a worthy one"
