4 That the construction of ocean
going yachts for the nillionaires
of New York, Boston, Philadel-
phia, San Francisco, Los Angeles
and other cities is falling off is
the statement of shipyard and
steamship officials, who declare
that the world tours by chartered
steamers are fast supplanting
yachting cruises by the wealthy
No more are to be seen new yes
sells of the size Of the famous
"Corsair," and ships of its class.
The decline in yachting is due
not alone to the income or excess
profits tax but to the advent of
'super-yachting," new sport
which enables party of from 400
to 500 to tour the world together
on grand scale, and affords
greater opportunity to meet new
and charming persons and to par
ticipate in highly entertaining
social functions aboard ship. Great
transatlantic liners are now taken
from their regular schedules and
placed at the disposal, for a nom
inal sum, of organized cruise par
ties, who travel in luxury that
no yacht could afford.

 Where? TC Columbia university.
 When? In July.
 Why? To attend the first sesicn of the To-day school of citizenship which opens there on July 16.
 And the incest part is that they will cover every expense, railroad fare, tuition and the cost of living while in attendance.
 The only paying back" that has to be done is, when they get home, tC write accounts of the school or give lectures embodying it to the leagues that sent them
 This vii be easy, too, for the uni versity has taken for the general program of the school the program of the National League of Women Voters as it relates to the study tf politics.
 This will be the first time any uni versity course has adopted such plan and the task of the scholarship winner will be simplfied when sine comes to lecture, for she will be amrlifying subjects on which the league already has information.
 In an article on this school Of GlllZenSutp, lile W pilleit NCNN' scrfbes it as follows:

 Mrs. Park Says Work At Home This
 Year.
 The advice of Mrs. Maud Wood Park, given In an address at the annual convention Of the national league this spring. is for all leagues with their subdivisions to give their best work this year to home poll tics.
 This Is chiefly because of the many local political campaign coming on. and because of the approaching pres idential campaign. which last is com paratively simple matter so far as concerns the league. since issues are more sharply drawn and clear cut.
 All women should. in addition to informing themselves thoroughly about state legislation which is pro- jected and that which Is pending. seek to know thoroughly local con ditions. that they may be prepared to vote effectively for the best good of their own bit of tho country when opportunity comes.

 When and where to register: July to 10 (except Sunday), Bessemer court house, 9 a. m. to 5 p. m.

 house on any of the designated dates and ask to see the registrar. Regis tration consists in merely giving your name and address. It does not cost one penny, nor does 1t obligate you to vote. It merely makes it pos sible for you to do so.
 Why register? Because you need your vote, and your home. your chll. dren. your town, county. state ana nation need your vote.
 It is your duty to vote at every election. Your government is what you make it by your vote. AS good citizen your vote is your most pre- cious possession. Don't bury your talent. Use it wisely, fearlessly and unselfishly for the benefit of the peo- pie as a whole.
