slider problems affecting the town
which had come to a crisis. A civic
league was organized with Miss Re-
becca c. White, president. The first
thing tackled was the unsightly and
insanitary aspect of the little town.
The mayor and the town board, when
approached by an organized group,
gave assistance by requesting all
public and private places to gather
rubbish, which was subsequently
burned or buried.
The banks of the little creek which
ran through the town were trans
from garbage dumping grounds into
places of beauty. Private home own
ers were aroused to the extent of
putting their grounds in attractive
shape.
Cemeteries long neglected, tomb
stones leaning, iron fences becoming
dilapidated, trees and shrubbery un-
trimmed next We're tackled and put
in order.
Owing to the fact that the town
had been laid out before the days of
grading streets, steps led from the
streets to the sidewalks. Lacking
street lights, these were dangerous
At the suggestion of the women, the
citizens formed a stock company. the
milling company supplied the power
and now the town enjoys 24-hour ,lec-
trio light service.
The town, being interseCted by two
State highways, has become a thor
ouShfare for tourists. The women of
the league succeeded in having q
room set aside in the courthouse for a
ladies' rest room.
In 1922 the league members led in
a campaign for a $4,000 bond issue
to enlarge and improve the Potosi
Public School from to 12 classrooms
with all modern improvements, and
two years later a $4,000 gymnasium
was completed.
This remarkably energetic little
club has to it's credit the establish
ment Of scholarship funds for both
boys and girls, securing Of lyceum lee
ture courses and musical events. The
members rendered invaluable aid in
typhoid epidemic, established a baby
clinic, instituted hot lunches for
school children and assisted in many
charitable causes.

terms with the men-if literacy test
were required for the men then they
would not object to the same for their
own sex, but as the law now stands
they felt that the bill under considera.
ton was making unfair discrimination
against the women.
Mrs. Wainwright said: This COM
promise bill is evidence of fear of the
common people. History will show
you that when government fears the
people, it is laying a foundation of
weakness. America has never feared
putting power into the hands of all
the people and therein lies her
strength. Why not do the broad and
generous thing, doing away with COM

Other members of the delegation
who spoke on behalf of a more ade-
Quate suffrage measure were Mrs.
Emma Void, Mrs. Bernita Shelton
Matthew's Miss Betty Archdale and
Miss Margaret Whitemore.
Their message to the Senator was
to the effect that they wanted to see

if it would not do this the American
women would take steps to have prop

AIT GLASSES OF BEER
PER CAPITA IN BERLIN
Average Adult Consumption Pei

BERLIN. May 2S.-To quench the
thirst of Berliners AIT glasses of beer
are required per capita in year.
AS this, however, is only a staticti-
cal figure, apportioned among men,
women, children and infants, the &C.
tual consumption by the adult indi.
vidual is considerably greater. During
1926 the frothy liquid put away in
Berlin amounted to 5,597,333 hecto-
liters, or 14,788,145 gallons.
Compared with these imposing fig
ures, the consumption of wines is com.
paratively modest, although rising no.
ticeably. In 1924 the city's tax reports
showed that 10,152,200 liters of wine
had been drunk. while in 1925 the
amount has even increased to 49,
524,508 liters, or approximately 49,
900, 900 bottles, thus allowing four bot.
ties for every man, woman and child.
