their intention Of conducting the busi-
ness themselves, but for some reason
not divulged, neither firm bears the
names Of women connected with It.
"War work with it's constant demand
on our time is over" said Mrs. Fred
erick ID. Countiss. one Of the new bust
ness women: 1--WE felt that we must
have something to supplant it. SO we
made UP our minds to go into business.
Women Of means have sometimes
been criticized for taking positions
which It was said other women who
must earn their living should have.
So we are not doing that. Instead we
are creating some positions for such
women

WOMEN TO FORM
CITY COMMITTEE
Organization That Fought Com
bine Will Organize as Inde.
pendent Republicans
PURPOSES ARE OUTLINED

A Woman's Central Campaign Com
mittee was planned today by officials Of
the Republican Women of Philadelphia
County, meeting at 221 South Eight
eenth street.
The women propose to form organi.
cations not only in every ward, but in
every. division on the same lines as the
Republican City Committee.
several OF the women asserted they
were not In the least discouraged by
the result Of Tuesdays primary elec-
ton. They said it was an experience
which would be invaluable in coming
fights.
Although the movement for
woman's organization Is still in a
formative stage, 1t was learned that the
women proposed to make an especially
strong fight at the next primary, when
candidates for Governor will be named.
Mrs. John Wanamaker. Sd. secretary
OF the present women's organization
which opposed the fifty fifty ticket"
said
\. We were obliged to undergo most
distressing experiences on primary day.
We had not dreamed that such trickery
would be possible as was carried out In
many divisions. But the methods used
'o'S VpshSu Our cytS, unU we HTe COM
ing back again more determined than
ever. There Is no use crying over
spilled milk.
we are taking an inventory Of our
forces today, and we know that there
are about 100000 women voters in
Philadelphia. II they are assured that
the women are to have an organization
solely their own. we believe It will be
possible to get most of them out on the
firing line
I'VE believe that most Of the women
want good government, but they have
been too greatly discouraged by results
in the past. When they realize the
strength Of their own forces they un-
doubtedly will become a decisive fac
tor"
The new organization will have
meeting next Wednesday at 2 o'clock,
which will be attended by representa-.
tives from every ward in the city.
The women say the one thing they
need is an adequate campaign fund.
Many of the division workers through
out Of the city today returned unex-
pended money, given them for election
purposes, to the headquarters. Mrs.
Wanamaker's comment was that this
was a proof that the women workers
are actuated solely by a desire for good
government.

Record Horseback Rides,

There is a reliable account given of an Englishman, Squire Osbald- stone, having ridden, in 1881, POO miles in ten hours. In doing this, however, he rode 16 horses and changed every four miles. A wonderful test of en- durance and pluck was the case of Capt. Charles Townley, another Eng fish cavalTyman, who, in 1S49, rode with dispatches from Belgrade to Con- stantinople, S20 miles. He remained in the saddle five days and II hours without rest, except on one occasion for six hours and the time consumed in changing to fresh horses. Twice the horse he rode dropped under him from exhaustion. It was a historic ride, for upon the event of his arriving in Constantinople ahead of all other couriers hung the decision of the war, which by his accomplishing the feat was averted.
