FIGHTS FOR WOMEN
 IN PUBLIC OFFICES
Mrs. Henry HaVermeyer Enters
 Plea for Her Sex at Meeting

Stamford. Aug. 24,--In the course of speech in behalf of the Nationa Woman's Party delivered at her villa 1 on Palmer's hill yesterday afternoon Mrs, Henry o. Havemcyer quickened the interest of her audience to a high degree by repeating a dialogue be- tween herself and an unnamed gov. ernor of New York when she attempt ed to interest him in a bill that would give women the same rights, priv. ileges and immunity under the law as men.
 but my dear doman.' she quoted the governor as having said, you'd never get men to pass the law" "' We don't want men to pass this law I replied" she said live wan, women to pass it.. put 1t up to him strong and tried hard to convince him that my argument was as good as his."
 A moment later Mrs. Havei,eyer said:
 There Is no better man in the world than the American man; but you do not know 1t, nor does he. Yet have never known an American man who is willing to take wom- ans advice on legal matters and mat ters of such a nature. But l am not discouraged. feel sure that we will yet win man over to that point where he will really treat us as his equal. It means a good fight and hard work. have fought hard and worked hard for the cause, and l see much more hard work and real fighting ahead Of me before our task is fully accom-. plished."
 The principal task of the Woman's Party 1t appeared from Mrs. Have meyers talk and that of the other speakers, was the removal of all dis abilities applying against women in the various states of the union.
 When urged to make public the name of the governor with whom she had her decision, Mrs. Havemeyer declined to do SO.
 Tt would not be fair to him." she said laughingly. Besides, our party does not wish to antagonze any in- huential official"
 Then it was Governor MillerT' it was suggested.
 No, 1t was not Governor Miller," she said quickly.
 Perhaps it was Governor Al Smith?"
 Perhaps it may have been, but will not and must not tell who it was When see the governor in question might tell him how I protected his identity"
 Mrs. John Winters Branan of New York presided as chairman of the meeting. Among those present were Mrs. Gutzon Borglum, Mrs. Julius kruttschmitt. Mrs. Alfred Crane, Dr. Katherine Merritt the daughter of Congressman Schuyler Merritt, and Mrs. w. J. Long, wife of the author md naturalist.

SILVER MINES MAKE
 VERY GOOD PROFIT.
Ten Cents an Ounce Is Made Over
 All Expenses in Mexico

ico Aug A (By the Associated
 Chihuahua City, Chihuahua, Mex
 Press).-silver mines are being oper-
 ated in Mexico at a good profit, it i.
 said with silver selling around 7C cents an ounce
 When silver is below 60 cents
 mines in this country cannot be
 worked at a profit. as a rule Wner
 silver is about this figure a small profit, hardly wortl, while, as the us-
 ua thing, can be made. but when 1t re; es 70 profit of around 10 cents an ounce is made. With silver sell ing at 70 cents, or thereabout, con- sequently there is a big revival in the mining business of this country and especially in the state of Chihuahua which produces the principal part of Mexico's silver yield.
 Old mines are being reworked thoroughly, and prospecting is going on in almost an unprecedented de- gree.
 During the six months just past, there passed through Juarez, Chihua- hua, alone, the Mexican consulate there reports, silver in refined form valued at s419,947 and ores contain ing silver and other metals (mosty gold and lead) valued at s14,oS9 During the same period in 1921, total silver, silver ore and combined metal ore passing through that port was valued at only s5,499. Juarez is the most important port for the exporta- ton of silver from this state to the United States
 The average price of silver from 1910 to 1914 was 56.445 cents an ounce. Labor and other costs were lighter then, and some Chihuahua mines produced at a profit at that fig | ure. Tn 1921 the average price was 6262 cents.
 Present price of silver is caused by | demands from India and China, it was stated The worlds output in 1921 was 175, 5,0oooo0 ounces, of which | Mexico produced 39 per cent, and the United States 31 per cent. More than 4o,ooo,ooo ounces of this went to India and 52ooo,ooo to China, being purchased by Chinese bankers.
 The government of Mexico, realiz- Ing the importance of a revival in silver mining is encouraging the re- openine of mines, some of which have been closed for ten years.
 It has been announced at the capi- tai that soon, in order to stimulate production, the duty on dynamite is to be lifted. This will help mining as it is used extensively n mining in this republic. The duty ,ow on dynamite is s1.o7 a hundred American money.

LICHOWSKI COMPANY
 OUT OF BUSINESS
H. P. Battey, West Main Street Cas- oline Man Pays Damages Fourfold
 and Work Resumes as Usual

Joseph Lichowski of 40 Grove street an eight-year- old boy sold load of wood to H. P Battey of eos Lincoln street this morning at large profit. He will not be prosecuted for profteering, however.
 Joseph, in company with another boy was engaged in hauling away some scrap kindling wood from the McMillan store, He was using a home made wagon consisting of a soap box on wheels, which including wood and all. would approximate in value about 20 cents.
 MT. Battey was driving his car north on Main streea and accidentally ran into Joseph's wagon, much to the detriment of the wagon. which be- came wedged under the front wheels of the automobile. A brief inventory disclosed the fact that Joseph was at least temporarily out of business His immediate supply of rolling stock in the wood transportation industry iasi decreased 100 per cent without warhl, ing.
 Joseph began to cry, but MT Bat tey, who was in no respect to blame for the accident proved himself to be a kind hearted man. He helped re- move the remains of the "Lichowski Transportation Company" from under his car, assisted in picketing up the scattered wood and replenished the president and general manager of the aforesaid company with a whole dol lar, enough to buy several similar wagons, wood and all, and have a working capital or surplus sufficient for half a dozen ice cream cones. Needless to say Joseph's tears soon dried up.
