VOTES FOR WOMEN"
May 20

ON May %, 1890, the judiciary
~ committee of the house OF
representatives reported in favor of
amending the Constitution to per-
init Womans suffrage. It was one
OF the first shows Of interest the
federal government made in the
suffrage movement.
Nothing came directly Of the re-
port, but it moved several states
70 individual action and was mile
ftone in the "Votes for Women"
iaUse.
Al the time no state and only one
'erritory, Wyoming, extended full
suffrage to women. Wyomipgs law
vent into effect in 1869.
The suffrage cause began in an
organized way in 1848 with a con-
vention at Seneca Falls, N. Y. It
lost momentum, however, during
the turbulent days Of the Civil war.
The constitutional amendment,
which went into effect in 1920, is
one Of the shortest in the document.
It says, simply:
l. The right of citizens of the
United States to vote shall not De
denied or abridged by the United
States or by any state on account
OF sex.
2. Congress shall have power, by
appropriate legislation, to enforce
the provisions of this article.

the waves nave formed is saturated heavily with
moisture billow clouds will form.
This is because the crest or top Of each wave is
expanded by reason Of having been elevated to a
higher altitude This expansion coos the crest OF the
wave and the moisture in it condenses.
No expansion, however. takes place in the trough
of each wave and therefore no condensation takes
place in it.
It can be understood now why the billow cloud
takes the form OF parallel bands f clouds with clear
sky between the bands.
The parallel bands represent the crests OF the
waves the clear sky between represents the troughs OF
the waves.
While the billow clouds may hold their forms for
hours, there is constant change going on IN them.
There is constant condensation on the rising or
wndward side of each billow and constant evapora-
ton on the Discerning leeward side OF each olloW
DR.. Humphreys calls attention to the TACT that
wind velocity can not be judged from the motion OF
biIlow clouds across the sky any more than the
velocity of wind could be judged from the velocity
of waves on the ocean.
The billow cloud forms good case in the argu-
ment that scientific knowledge enhances rather than
destroys ones appreciation Of the beauty OF nature
This writer believes that the pillow cloud viii lose
no beauty for the person who understands the cause
of its formation and the activity which Is going on
within it. but that the contrary this knowledge in

A New Farm Relief Problem

When land is too valuable to grow food, and thou

variation Of the farm relief problem is set out for
solution.
Professor F. H. Newell, consulting engineer and
former head of the government reclamation service
is Just back from Porto Rico with report to the
above effect
THE population is on the verge of starvation" de-
cares Professor Newell "In some of the islands the
soil and water are not adequate support the native
populations but in Porto Pico the trouble is different
The soil is very rich and could grow food for an army
But it is too valuable to grow food. It is de-
manded by the sugar interests to grow sugar so the
natives import food from the United States paying
our high prices, plus the freight from New York,
And not having work or money to pay, they are out
of luck"
Which recalls the opening chapters in Henry
Georges Progress and Poverty in which he de-
scrbes the famine in Ireland due to the failure Of the
potato crop the sympathy in America for the starv
ing Irish, and the project to load battleship with
grain and send it across the ocean, while all the time

New York in 1866

CITY planning comes to a climax
" in the report just issued by a
committee of experts with regard
to development Of the New York
metropolitan district.
Assuming that this district, which
now contains g, population of ten
million. will have a. population of
twenty million in 1865, the commit
tee recommends an elaborate Sys-
tenn of parks, highways, railroads
and airports, together with neces-
sary tunnels and bridges.
The proposition is staggering, par
ticularly because of the greater flu
ture it leaves out.
If the population of the New York
metropolitan district is going to
double between now and 1865, what
will it do between 1865 and the year
1000, not to say the next succeed

can't forget that Elsie brought along
a spirit which identified himself as
my uncle and said he was one of
three brothers. There were, in fact,
seven, which gives Elsie a battle ay-
