Washington's longest ticket line
stretched from every point Of the
compass at American League Park
today, as thousands Of local fans
waited patiently to buy tickets to
the world series.
The longest line was that which
extended from Bohrer street ticket
booth to Florida avenue and west
ward to Seventh street In an un-
broken file. Another long line
reached from one Of the booths in
the front Of the park far up Geor-
gia avenue.
Policemen were on hand to keep
order In the ranks, but the crowd
was so tired from hours OF waiting
that little or no disorder was en-
countered. Occasionally friend
who had stood In line called to a
new arrival and tried to get him in
line with him. The walters them.

Within the office OF the baseball
club there was constant activity,

urged today by Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Gait, pioneer suffrage leader,
speaking on the subject "The
Three Is" before the biennial con
vention of the general federation of
women's clubs.
"When war comes, idealism pos
sesses the spirit of the people, ="
Mrs. Gait said. "No matter what
the real cause for war may be,
every people believes it is fighting
for some great and glorious prin-
ciplc. 1t is the way men dupe
themselves into a justification for
war. When war ends, idealism
slips behind the horizon like a set'
ting sun and men grope their way
through a twilight of doubt. There
is. no progress, no stability without
the stimulation of idealism.
The emancipation of women is
the greatest result of war, Mrs.
Gait believes. When the world war
Began, women voted equally with
men in only four s,nations, and in
IL states of the United States. Now,
women vote on equal terms with
men in 26 countries and have muni-
cipal suffrage in six others.

Fight For Public
School Provision

After several successful prelimi-
nary contests in local courts in
which they contended for public
school rights for their children,
California Indians have won fav-
orable decision from tire State Su.
preme Court and settled the school
question for all time.
For some time tho Indian people
have been Indignantly aware that
courses in government schools were
entirely inadequate for the training
of their children, In various parts
Of the state they have endeavored
to enter their children in the pub
lie schools only to meet with re
buff and refusal, the contention of
school officers being that where
government schools were provided
for the Indians they were not en-
TITLED to public school privileges.
Finally through continued efforts
of the Indian board of cooperation
test ease was brought before the
State Supreme Court. The case was
that of the parents of Alice Piper,
and Indian child, versus the Big
Pine school district in Inyo Coun-
ty.
The school victory marks the sec
ond favorable decision rendered by
the Supreme Court in California In
dian eases. The citizenship Of In
dams was established in 1917. Zach

Al, OYER FOR WOMEN BUT SHOUTING
AS THEY ARE GAYLY IGNORED IN
SELECTION OF VICE PRESIDENT

,T. Hert TO succeed Harriet Taylor
Upton, official leader of the Repub.
hean women, they found no time
for such unimportant matters as
the selection of the vice president.
Women Not Consulted
Now in point of fact, there are
nearly 15o women delegates at the
convention with equal voting pow
der with the men. But while their
male colleagues caucused behind
closed door and ragged forth first
one possibility and then another,
the women might as well have been
at home with their knitting.
The selection of the vice presi-
dent was left entirely to the men.
Since their real work is done they
contend that some time shonld be
given to the frills and fripperies of
this affair.
The reason is obvious, according
to some of the few politically mind
ed women. Women are just a little
bit afraid of their new power they
say. They haven't been cordially
invited into the mems party either
and it doesn't seem right to invite
themselves.

Ice Cream Is
A Life Saver
In The Summer

The other day B. d. Bibbins, man
ager of the Crescent Creamery Com
pany was asked to name offhand
how many ways of serving ice cream

ways he mentioned to show the
many uses to which ice cream can
be put:
The cantaloupe season is upon us.
Everyone has tasted the delights
of an ice cold piece of cantaloupe
filled to Overlooking with ice
cream. You have never really
known the pleasure of eating can
taloupes unless you have used it in
various ways in connection with ice
cream.
Then there are the strawberry,
raspberry, loganberry and black
berry seasons which, to Califor-
mans always indicates summer and
cool evenings. What could be more
delicious tina many one of these ber-
ries served with ice cream. Then the
different gelatines, jellos, custards
and frozen puddings are always de-
licious with ice cream, either served
separately or as a pudding Ia
mode.
The flavor of pies and cakes is al
ways increased by the addition of lee
cream.
AZ the present time the Southern
California lee Cream Manufacturers
Association is making family brick
ice cream in combination of pleas
ing summer flavors, which are
changed every week. This makes it
very easy for one to select the
flavor of ice cream which is best
suited for the different foods.
