Long Struggle for Equality
Womans Persistent Fight for Social Betterment and to
Remove Stigma of Sex Inferority, Can Be
Consistently Traced to 1888.

Lucretia Mott made the discovery
together at one Of those conferences
in Europe Of which the last has not
yet been heard. They had gone to
London to attend q worlds Anti
Slavery Conference" They had ex-
pected to participate, but they found
that women were neither to be seen
nor heard. They were placed behind
a curtain while the men talked 1t out.
The memory Of that was a tremen-
dous help to woman suffrage.
Eight years later Mrs. Stanton pre-
sented a blistering indictment OF
male domination In her resolution
at Seneca Falls, n. Y. The suffrage
movement never stopped until the
Nineteenth amendment was ratified
in 1920.
The Civil war brought an inter-
Jude. 1t both helped the women and
set them back. Falling in with the
counsel Of some Of their best men
advisers, they agreed to concentrate
their reform efforts on freeing black
slaves. In addition, there was the
need for women to take over the
work which men had left when they
put on uniforms. Clara Barton, by
some strange chance a federal en-
ployee. initiated the most character
istic Of woman's social enterprises.
She took over the nursing of sick
and wounded soldiers. In doing so
she refused to make a distinction
between the blue and the gray uni
forms. What she began to do has
expanded into the Red Cross, the
greatest mother of them all.

There will be very little Scent
beer. Ten cents a glass of 10
ounce will be the average price
paid.
With the demand for beer will.
also be the demand for pretzels,
cheese, boned herring, olives, cav
lar, black bread and liverwurst-
the general fxings that go to make
a beer party 'as of the days of
yore." Little demand for wine IS
anticipated at first.
Among those selling beer and
wines will be: hotels, cafes, rest
ausants, sandwich shops, drug
stores, grocery stores, beverage
makers, etc.
Much confusion exists as to the
exact regulations, state and nation
al, that will govern the sale of the
new beverage; also, as to the a.
of the tax to be paid to
the different political subdivisions.
Fear is felt as to possible delay
account of the difficulty in OBJ
tanning definite regulations.
Licenses will be issued, it is
stated, by the city, state and ma
ton. Each will also levy a tax.
