woMAN's SUFFRAGE UPHELD.
Decision Rendered by Judge Sga72e.-
 Was Unanimous.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-The consti- nationality of the women's suE~age or nineteenth amendment, was sustained today by the supreme court in an unanimous decision rendered by Jus tice Brandeis.
 The challenge came from the state of Maryland where Oscar Leser and others sought to prevent the registra- tion of two women as qualified voters in Baltimore. Leser and his asso- ciates contended that the constitution of Maryland limited suffrage to men, that the legislature of Maryland had refused to ratify the woman's sui frage amendment and that the amend ment had not become part of the federal constitution. The Maryland state courts sustained the amend ment.
 The contention that an amendment to the federal constitution relating to additions to the electorate cannot De made without the consent of the state the court disposed of by reference to the 18th amendment, declaring that aone be valid and the other invalid. It pointed out that the validity of the fifteenth amendment had been recog- nized for a half century.
 The suggestion that several of the thirty-six states which ratiiied the 18th amendment had provisions m their state constitutions which pro hibited the legislatures from ratifying ,ould not be entertained. the eofiF stated. because the state le~isiHfure derived their power in snch me 'ft from the federal consultation wtif' ~tranecenas any Limitations sou9hf to be imposed by the people ef q state

 99 YEARS, II MONTHS, 5 DAYS
Within Few Days of Becoming Gen. tenarian. Mena Citizen Passed
 Away at Home of Daughter.

Alexander Graham, who passed away in Mena early Tuesday morning, lacked only few days of living a century, his age being 99 years, Il months and 5 days. Death of the man who came so near being a cen tenarian, occurred shortly after mid night at the home of his daughter, Mrs. W. T. Hulen, 1903 Hamilton ev- enue, and followed a short illness.

FAMINE STRIKING SOVIET LEADERS
So Long as Millions of Peasants and Bourgeoisie Starve There Is No Concern, But Moscow Is Run
 ming Short of Food.

Moscow, Feb. 27.-The soviet dele gation to Genoa will carry instruc- tions to grant all concessions demand. ed. provided a big reconstruction loan can be obtained. If this loan cannot be arranged, then from the Russian point of view the conference has only the moral value of recognition of the present government.
 The basic reason for this attitude is the famine. It is only within the last few weeks that the leaders of the soviet have realized just how des- perate is the food situation. So long as the famine starves to death the peasants and the remaining bourge- oisie, tho 1t be on scale of millions, the soviet leaders are untouched and rather indifferent.
 Famine Encircling Moscow.
 But the famine now is slowly and surely encircling their stronghold Moscow-and soviet representatives sent to every part of Russian for food report there is less and less to be had, that beginning with March the flaw ored red army will begin to starvs, and that each succeeding month will be worse until July, when harvests, more or less seant, may relieve the situation.
 What may happen between now and the. summer months is troubling the soviet leaders. If big loan is ar ranged, the situation car be saved. If not, the hundred million or so dol lars in the soviet treasury will have to go for food, and even that may not save the country from anarchy.
 The frightened attitude of the sov- tets is shown by it's daily changing at- titnde towards the American relief administration. When the Americans first came, in September, they were received with scant courtesy, but with each month they have been better mitted, but asked to direct food ship ments.
 Power May Be Doomed
 If Moscow leaders do not obtain outside help, they realize that their power is doomed. Already the Uk- raine has shown its independence and has fiatly refused to let any of it's food be drained off to Moscow or for the red army stationed elsewhere. The Caucasus has some food, but it's attitude Is doubtful. In Kuban, where also is food, hostility to out side shipments has been active since last summer.
 The soviet governments fears are indicated in another direction. For the time it's entire Oriental policy has been thrown overheard. The re- cent conference of Far Eastern peo- ples, called by the third internation- ale for the purpose of stimulating communism in Japan. China and else where, was given but the scantiest attention in Moscow. The delegates were poorly housed and turned over to foreign office clerks.

GOING NATURE ZONE BETTER"
Man HaO Been Engaged in Work sf Altering Domestic AnimAls for
 Many centurisS.

What a curious thing it is to realize that a St. Bernard, 8 Pekinese. and S Skye terrier all three come from 8 common wild stock
 Man has been altering domestic animals of every kind for centuries past. He has taken the common pi- geOn and invented something like 60 distinct varieties, while hundreds Of different sorts of fowls have come from the original jungle bird Of CeylOn.
 Curious experiments have been made iR cOIOring birds by feeding them on certain foods. One man obtained pi- EeOns of a beautiful red by putting in their food a chemical with the terrible name of 'methyltrabrOmO fiuOresine," and he got others of a rich blue by similar means.
 Man is changing not only animals and birds, but also fish and insects. Take bees, for instance. Of course, various species of bees are constantly crossed in order to get kinds that will produce a bee which shall be more useful for fertilizing flowers than any of the present sorts.
 With object, certain breeders are trying to produce a bee with a longer tongue than any possess at present. For flowers like clover such a bee would be invaluable, since the result would be 8 great increase of fertile fioWers. and, consequently, seed.
 The latest branch of creation which man is tackling with a view to modi- flying is fish. The experiments were begun at the University of Chicago, about i've years ago.
