NEOST women who today
1V1 are inclined to take for
granted the privileges of equal
rights would have difficulty in
answering the questions:
When were women In the
United States first allowed to
vote In national elections and
what amendment to the Con-
stitution provides for this
privilege? Yet 1t was only 81
years ago that the 10th
amendment passed the Sem
ate and only 80 years since
enough States ratified the
amendment to make it legal.
Women of the United States
first voted in the presidential
election of 1920.
However, the right to vote,
like all other rights, was not
won without a struggle-a
valiant struggle in which the
names of women like Susan
B. Anthony. Emmeline Pank-
hurst, Alice Paul and Lucy
Burns stand out among the
thousands of women both
here and abroad who worked
tirelessly In the cause. The
suffrage road was long and
filled with heartbreaks. In
addition to political setbacks,
members of the weaker sex
were not always treated gently
when they surged forward to
picket, petition, parade and

lobby for their platform.
Fines and jail sentences were
common occurrences.
At first, the campaign was
waged by States, with the aim
of securing voting rights for
women in enough States SO
that they would have influ-
ence In electing Congressman.
When in 1918 there were IL
States and Territories that
had enfranchised women, the
Women's Party decided to
shift the attack to a national
basis. A petition $4,000 feet
long bearing 100000 sigma

Sterling Highway Dedicated Today

JUNEAU, (P-On September 6, 1850, a ceremony will be held to dedicate the Sterling Highway, newly completed road connecting Seward with the western side of the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. This highway extends from a point 38 miles north of Seward, on the Seward-Anchorage highway, west ward 70 miles to Kenai, and thence southward 138 miles, by way of Kasilof and Minilchik, to Homer. It links some of the finest agricultural land of Alaska with Seward, it's most important south coast port. The road was largely constructed new since 1946 by the Alaska Road Commission and is being completed this summer.
 Next year, the entire highway system of the Kenai Peninsula will be linked with Anchorage and the United States by way of Turn again Arm Road which is still un- der construction.
 Tn Sterling Highway has added interest for all Alaskans in that it was named after Hawley w. Ster- ling, old time Alaskan engineer who served a lifetime with the Alaska Road Commission and was it's Assistant Chief Engineer from 1882 until his death in 1948. Mrs. Edna Sterling, his widow, of Seat tie, has been invited to attend the dedication ceremony.
 The dedication will be perform ed by Governor Ernest Gruenlng. Judge Anthony J. Dimond, It. Gen. William E. Kepner, and ma yors and other notables of An chorage, Seward, Kenai, Homer and other communities served by or interested in the Sterling High way are expected to attend. Dele gate E. L. Bartlett had hoped to be present, but will be unable to leave Washington owing to ines capable public business.

 Formal notification was imme- diately handed to U. N. secretary genertl Trygve Lie and to Sir Gladwyn Jebb of Britain, this months security council president.
 President Truman was inform ed of the incident but Presidential secretary Charles G. Ross told re- porters he did not hear him ex- press any reaction. Ross said he assumes MT. Truman had approv- ed in advance the submission of the report by the state department to the U. N. as a matter of course.
 The department located the in- cident approximately" at the 38th parallel, which is the boundary between North and South Korea. The brief announcement did not ,, pinpoint the action above or be- low that parallel.
 Thus there was no indication whether the shooting took place in waters which the communists regard as their own. It was on the west coast, which borders on the Yellow Sea south of communist Manchuria and east of Red China.
 The state department said the bomber identified only by bear ing a red star". passed over one of the outer ships in U. N. for nation and headed toward the center "in a hostile manner"
 "The bomber opened fire upon a United Nations fighter patrol which returned it's fire and shot it down." the state department said.
 "A United Nations destroyer succeeded in picking up the body of one member of the bomber crew. Identification papers indi- cated that the body was that of Lieut.. Mishin Tennadii Vasilebiu of the armed forces of the U. s. s. R. No. 25054."

Mrs. F. e. Y. of FL Paso, wants
an explanation of the apparently
contradictory saying that the ex-
ception proves the rule.
This old saying does puzzle
many people, and the explanation
lies in the primary meaning of the
word proof. The word proof comes
from the Latin probare, meaning
ito test; therefore, the old adage
merely means that the exception
tests the rule. We all remember in
school days how we proved an ex-
ample in arithmetic, which was an
other way Of saying that we tested
1t for correctness; and an author
reads the proofs Of his work so it
may be tested for typographical
errors, or other mistakes.
The exception tests the rule is
the literal meaning of the old
phrase.

turers, but they went on with their
travels. In the Polish city of VIOLA,
they met with another blow to
their fame. Cagliostro called a
group of people together so that
they could watch him turn mercury
into silver. He placed a jar of mer-
curry in furnace, then took his
guests to another room in the
house. Soon afterward, he escorted
them back to the furnace, and took
out jar of pure silver!
That looked like a great deed, but
a day or two later a servant found
the mercury jar in a heap of
rubbish. What really had hap
pened was this: a helper had hid
den himself near the furnace, and
had changed jars while the guests
were away, putting silver in place
Of the mercury.
News spread slowly In those days,
and Casliostro reached Paris far
Evening star., 1950-03-17

No railway trains were in use
during the period Cagliostro was
alive. He was forced to use slow
transport, usually stagecoach of
one kind or another. Much of the
time he travelled in grand style,
seated with his wife in black
coach, with a golden design on the
outside. Six servants went with
them.
BY the time they reached st.
Petersburg, they had started to
serve their customers with what
was called "Spagiric Food" This
was said to add many years to the
life of anyone who ate it. In the
big Russian city Qater changed in
name to Leningrad) there was
Scottish doctor in the royal court.

ahead of any word about his work
at VIOLA. In the French capital, he
became center of interest, and
made large sums of money from
the people he fooled. He fell into
trouble, however, and at length was
cast into prison.
Getting out of the Paris prison,
Cagliostro went to England and
met with a little success there.
Later he returned to the mainland
of Europe.
At the age of 46, this strange
man was taken before a church
court in Italy and was condemned
for having formed a secret society,
He was put in a fortress prison, and
is supposed to have died there in
1795, at the age Of So. His once
pretty wife also died in prison.

The bidding:
West North East South
] club Dbl. Pass spade
Pass zspades 9 clubs 3spades
Pass Pass Pass
Opening lead, four of spades.
Failure to establish dummy's
long suit Is a common error on the
part Of declarers. Many five
card suit was born to blush un-
seen merely because it contained
no high cards. The South of to-
days hand was one Of the victims
Of this failing.
Perhaps a comment is in order
on the bidding sequence. North's
double Of the opening club bid is
sound. While it is true that North
has no preparation for diamonds,
nevertheless, If partner has that
suit, he is at liberty to bid it at
the one level and North can then
bail out into one of his suits, with
out committing himself to an eight
trick contract.
East elected to pass the double,
though most modern players prefer
10 give an immediate raise with
hands of this type for fear that
It might be inconvenient to bid
tater. As 1t developed, East was in
the awkward position Of having to
bid at the level Of three in order
10 avoid being shut out Of the
auction completely. South's three
spade bid would have been made
even II East had not interfered,
because he had more than a forced
response, but North, having already
done his full duty, subsidized.
Vests choice Of the trump open
ing was the best. Declarer went
about playing the hand in a rather
slipshod manner. He played the
ace and another club. West won
and led another trump. Declarer
won and ruffed the remaining club
In dummy. He then got out with
q heart, hoping that West would
eventually lead diamond or that
the ace of diamonds would be
rright." None of these things came
of and declarer wound up losing
three diamonds, a heart and club
for down one.
At no cost at all, declarer could
have tried to establish long card
In the heart suit for his ninth
trick. There are seven hearts out
standing, and 1t, Is moral cer-
tainty that they are divided four
three, because with all the honors
adversely held, If one of the de-
tenders held five hearts, that suit
would surely have been mentioned
In the bidding. The trump trick
should be won in dummy and a
heart led at once. Three heart
ruffs will establish the fifth card
of the suit. This will require four
entries and dummy has them in
the trump suit and ace of clubs.
1t Is true declarer could have
made the hand in another manner
that is, by leading two low dia-
monds and telling the ace when
the third one is trumped, but this
would have been somewhat in the
nature of a double-dummy play,
while the play for the long heart is
clearly indicated.
