desirable type Of horse for army use
is exactly the type best fitted for
farm work.
A message to Col. F. s. Armstrong,
chief of the remount service, signed
by representatives of more than 40
horse breeders organizations in the
New England states, New York and
Pennsylvania, said the work carried
on by the service Is "of incalculable
value to the horse-breeding industry
of the country"
I'VE especially protest." 1t said,

remount depot at Front Royal, Va,
the only remount depot in the east or

The Utah Cattle and Horse Growers

Supreme Court Upholds Woman Suffrage

CONSTlTUTIONALITY of the wom-
~ ans suffrage, or nineteenth,
amendment was sustained by the
Supreme court in a unanimous decision
rendered by Justice Brandeis.
The challenge came from the state
Of Maryland, where Oscar Lester and
others sought to prevent the regis
tration Of two women as qualified
voters in Baltimore. Lester and his
associates contended that the constl-
tuition Of Maryland limited suffrage
to men, that the legislature Of Mary
land had refused to ratify the wom-
ans suffrage amendment and that
the amendment had not become a
part of the federal constitution. The
Maryland state courts sustained the
amendment.
The contention that an amendment
to the federal constitution relating
to additions to the electorate can
not be made without the consent Of
the state, the court disposed Of by
reference to the fifteenth or equal
suffrage amendment. declaring that
zone cannot be valid and the other
invalid Ii pointed out that the va
lidlty Of the fifteenth amendment had
been recognized for half century.

! around his laboratory one day, he saw
an ordinary palm leaf fan upon tn
Bile. After a study Of the texture of
the binding, he asked one Of his as
SlStants to carbonize filaments made
from the rim. He was so impressed
with the result of this experiment that
he sent men all over the world to Sc
cure specimens of bamboo. A certain
variety of japanese bamboo was final
~ adopted, and for nearly nine years
all Edison lamps had bamboo nla'
ments.
In 1907 the pressed tungsten lamp
was placed on the market, but sclen-
lists did not stop here; the goal was
ductlle tungsten. Tungsten Is not a
rare metal, but 1t was not largely USED
owing to the fact that no method had
been discovered by which It's natural
hard and brittle state could be changed
Tungsten is now produced in a ductile
form and can be drawn into wire
which has a tensile strength varying
from 100000 to 100000 pounds square
inch.
In 1911, the wire-drawn lamp with
which we are all familiar made It's
oppearance. This lamp, which gives
three times as much light as the car
hon lamp, contains n filament of drawn
tungsten wire within bulb of clear
glass from which the air has been ex-
hausted. In 1914 the gas-filed lamp
was produced.

reasons why considerations Of rela-
tivity Of importance must be borne In
mind. 1t Is no longer possible for the
newspapers to give full reports of the
proceedings of senate and house, ana
the operations, investigations, Inquiries
and conclusions Of their various com
mlttees.
In the Slxty-sixth congress no less
than 1929 public bills and 4S1 joint
resolutions were introduced In the
legislative grist mill Of the house OF
representatives, and more than 1000
in the senate, of which 401 of the for
mer and 60 Of the latter class be-
came laws, in addition to the ia pri-
vate bills and resolutions which we're
enacted. Not even congress Itself Is
able to visualize at Il single sweep or
the eye labor so vast in scope.
A follow-up system Of federal pub
licity, probably through the executive
departments to keep the country In
formed, might be desirable. No single
newspaper car report adequately every
new act of congress and every inter-
mediate step taken in the process or
converting the twenty-odd thousand
bills into the five hundred-odd laws.

the fact that in Fingal's cave, In the
