18th AMENDMENT
DECLARED VALID.
Dsclsion Of Maryland Courts
Is Sustained
COURT REVIEWS ARGUMENTS
AIses Paul 10 JubIIant-Decision A
complete Victory For Women
ats After 72-Year Cam
paion.

Washington.-The constitutionality
- the Women's Suffrage, or Nine.
Assnth Amenment, was sustained by
the Sur-esse Court in a unanimous
0sceion rendered by Justice Brandeds.
Ihe challenge came from the State
- Maryland, where Oscar Lesser and
Ueh9rs sought to prevent the regis
6atton OF two women as qualified
voees In Baltimore. Lesser and his
associates contended that the Con-
ufitution Of Maryland limited suffrage
% men: that the Legislature of Mary
xand had refused to ratify the Wom-
Sn's Suffrage Amendment, and that
the amendment had not become a part
o. the Federal Constitution. The
maryland State courts sustained the
amendment.
The contention that an ann ndment
70 the Federal Constitution relating
% additions to the electorate cannot
be made without the consent of the
State the court disposed of by refer
ence to the Fifteenth, or Equal Suf.
mage Amendment, declaring that zone
cannot be valid and the other invalid. /"
Il pointed out that the validity of the
Fifteenth Amendment had been rec.
ogndzed for half a century.
The suggestion that several of the
s6 States which ratified the Ninteenth
Amendment had provisions in their
state Constitutions which prohibited
the Legislatures from ratifying could
not be entertained, the court stated,
bccanse the State Legislatures derived
eheir power in such matters from the
Federal Constitution, which trans
pends any limitations sought to be
supposed by the people OF State"
The remaining objection, that the
xaflfying resolutions Of Tennessee
aad West Virginia were imperative
because adopted in violation of legis-
lative procedure in those States, may
have been rendered "immaterial," the
court declared, by the subsequent rat
ancatlon of the amendment by Con.
necticut and Vermont. The conten.
don was disposed Of, however, on
broader ground, the court stated.
adding that the Secretary of State
having issued a proclamation of the
ratification Of the amendment by the
Legislatures of 36 States the amend
ment to all intents and purposes had
become part of the Constitution. AS
Tennessee and West Virginia had
power to ratify and had officially noti-
ned the Secretary of State that they
had done SO, their action was binding
upon the Secretary and upon being
eertifed by that official had become
upon the courts.
The court announced in disposing
Of the case, which had been brought
on appeal on writ of error, that it
granted the petition of the parties
for writ of certioran; but the deci-
sion SO thoroughly disposed of the OBJ
sections urged there seemed, in the
opinion OF court officials, no probabil-
1ty that any argument could be pre-
Dented which would cause the court
b change its views.

TEN RULES OFFERED
TO SAVE BATTERIES
Greater Care Is Necessary Dur
ing Winter Weather.
Few Simple Instructions, II Faithfully
Followed, viii Add Materially to
Life Of Important Electrical
Device.

| Now that cold weather is here, you
should look your battery over every
two weeks. These few simple instruc-
tions, faithfully followed, will lengthen
the life of a battery:
1. Don't lay tools or anything else
on top of your battery.
2. Don't spin your engine several
minutes at time.
=. If your engine does not start
promptly, see that the ignition switch
Is on and the carburetor mixture suf-
ficiently rich before using starter
again.
4. See that engine is sufficiently
primed in cold weather. Throw your
switch off; push starter to turn en-
gine once or twice; throw switch on;
then start again and your cylinder Is
primed.
8. If your car stands idle for
month or more, take the battery out
and leave 1t at the service station.
G. Use nothing but distilled water.
Z. Let an expert add the acid for
the electrolyte.
8. When the solution sprays or
spills, wipe clean with moist sponge.
Some batteries make no provision to
keep the solution from splashing, so
this rule is given.
.. Keep metal parts of connection,
which are not lead-coated, covered
with thin coating of vasellne.
10. Dim lights are sometimes warn
ing signals of short circuits or i'm
proper charging Let the service sta
ton make an inspection when you are
confused.

the Philadelphia district. This ought to
be cinch, for one pro generally plays
about as we'll as another. and. ord-

is not only figured for the No. post

pionsh!r, too. With Marcus Greer as
amateur partner, "Chnrl!c" Ioffner
also Won the first amateur-pro event
ever held here this year. That makes
his hish standing about as complete
as can be here.
"Charlie" Hoffner's game usually
has been in the past to contribute n

then to wabblc some place. But this

Vocational Exhibit.

The annual school exhibit of vocational
activities in the public schools was held
in the high school building Thursday
evening of last week. The first part of
it was devoted to demonstration Of
physical training and health work to-
gether< with a style show representing
the home economy department. This
was given on the rostrum in the assem-
bly, room. 1t was arranged SO as to in
dictate to the large audience present the
nature, rather than the scope of the
work attempted in these lines by the
schools. The instruction in sewing,
dietetics, care of the sick room and the
art of home Nursing now forms part
of the curriculum in the public schools.
We are willing to admit that these
branches are still in the experimental
stage in our schools, but they are grad
ually being whipped into form and will
constitute an important part of applied
education.
The exhibit of class work in the grades
and high school representing mechanic
al and technical training was placed in
the gymnasium and was well arranged.
1t showed great promise of the results
of trade education as part of the gem
eral training in technical skill The
maps, the projects, the written work,
drawings, carpenter work, basketry,
reed weaving, gardening exhibited are
indexes of the mental training accom-
panying the mechanical work, poten-
tally speak of the power gained to-
gether with the skill of the eye and the
dexterity Of the hand as the work pro-
crosses from class to class in the school.
This phase of the exhibit made it
highly interesting, no matter how one
might judge it's standard of excellence,
and revealed the policy of the educational
aims and purposes of our local school.
The night school had its own exhibit in
one of the class rooms. Miss Florence
Hawkins has taught the dressmaking
classes. These had a representative
exhibit of work.
