Other Ohio conventions sor
Women's Rights were held by
female refocmers within the next
few years at Akron in 1851,
at Massillon in 1852, and at Raw
emma in 1853. But these were
merely anti-climaxes to the 1850
convention at Salem.
With the advent of the Civil
War and its increase in anti slav-
cry agitation, the question OF
equal rights for women faded
more and more into the back
ground. Crusading activities de-
clined until after passage of the
18th Amendment and grant of
franchise to the newly-freed
slaves.
Betsy M. Cowles' activities de-
creased through these years and
she died at her family home in
Austinburg, Ashtabula County,
in 1876. Her pioneering activities
in the suffrage movement were
taken up by younger women, and
the 70 year struggle for women's
rights finally reached fruition
with the granting of franchise in
1919

EnIistments In
Navy Now Open

The Navy Recruiting Service IN
Springfield announced today that
enlistments will be wide open dur
ing the month of March and April.
This is the first time in over six
months that a man has been able
to enlist without a long period
of waiting.
During the past months when a
man applied, he was placed on a
waiting list for a two or three
month period before he was called
for enlistment. The change is due
to large increase in the Nayy's
enlistment quota.
The quota includes a number
of trade school openings for quail
fled High school graduates, one
of which is the Nays Electronic
School which offers a young man
an education in the field of cleo
tronics.

Women voters owe a vote 81
thanks to Ohioan Betsy M. Cow
les. She spark plugged move
ment for their right of franchise
This is the Tooth anniversary
year of a Woman's Rights Con
vention, which was presidede ovei
by Miss Cowles 1t marked the
beginning of an organized move
ment in Ohio for equal legal and
political rights for women.
In April of 1880, the yeaar Ohio
was tc consider a new state con-
stitution, female anti-slavery re-
formers from the immediate vic
unity of Salem, Columbian County
in the eastern parat Of the state,
convened to memorialize the con-
stitutional body for equal women S
rights.
The Ohio Women'S conference
was the outgrowth of a similar
convention two years earlier in
Seneca Falls, n. Y, the first
national gathering of Women's
Rights agitators in the nation, and
the only one till the Salem con-
Vention.
Betsy Cow-es, outstanding fi5-
ure at the conference, was a kin
dergarten teacher, at the time
known as infant school, and is
credited with pioneering the aedu-
cation of children in the old West
ern Reserve territory.
She was an ardent anti-slavery
crusader, who with her sister, Cor
nelia, achieved quite a reputation
for a singing campaign in behalf
of abolition.
Betsy's background, centering
around the liberty of conscience
of her Quaker beliefs and her
graduation from Oberlin College,
then rallying point for prop
onents of women's rights, gave
her the natural inclination 10
crusade for such sauses as woman
suffrage and equal rights with
man.
The convention under her dir
ection, passed a aresolution sett-
ing forth demands of the reform
ers on a variety of subjects. The
letter to the constitutional con-
ference won little support, how
ever, and resolution to eliminate

Simple Dos For
BroiIing Steak

Broiled steaks merit specia
cooking attention-but little of it
According to Reha Stages, wei
known meat cookery expert, broil.
ing steaks so that they are uni
formly Drowned on the outside
and cooked to the desired degree
of doneneSs on the inside is quite
a simple matter.
First of all it is important
where the stea is placed in the
broiler. The correct distance from
the heat is two to three inches
depending on the thickness of the
steak (1-inch steaks, 2 inches; z
inch steaks, 3 inches). This will
give a moderate broiling tenn
perature of about $50 degrees /.
The second simple rule of broil-
ing is that the steak needs to be
turned only once. When the meat
is nicely Drowned it is cooked
about half way through and then
it is seasoned, turned on the sec
ond side and finished cooking.
When that side is cooked, it is
seasoned and the steak ready for
the meat platter and immediate
serving. For a rare done 1-inch
steak from 18 to 20 minutes cook
ing time is required; medium-done,
20 to 25 minutes. For rare-done
2-inch steak 80 to 35 minutes is
required; medium-done, 40 to 40
minutes.

Modern methods in extracting
sugar water from Maple Trees
differ sharply from pioneer
days and the time when Indians
made syrup and suger.
At least one Ohio farmer uses
a portable tree-tapper, powered
with a gasoline engine which
makes it possible to tap about
300 trees an hour if he can get
around that fast.
Indians, according to accounts
handed down from pioneer days,
used a tomahawk for a tapping in
strument.
The Indians took sections of
bark about Is inches in length
from elm trees. The sections were
split into two parts SO that each
section would make a trough the

s Million Farmers
To Report Census
Data In April

Approximately six million
American farmers will be asked
to report their expenditures in
1949 for gasoline and other pet
roleum fuels and oils, purchased
for use in the farm business,
when the United States Bureau of
the Census conducts the 1850
Census of Agriculture. Farmers
also will be asked to report On
the number and the year of new
est models of automobiles, mot
ortrucks, and tractors.
Information on farm expendi-
lures for petroleum products was
collected in the 1910 Census Of
Agriculture. AT that time, D.
S86,614 farm operators reported
expenditures totaling 1923 million
during 1899 for gasoline, distill-
ates, kerosene and oils for use in
operation of the farm business
This was an average of SIP per
reporting farm. OF the 6,096, 799
farms in 1910, 3,542,03 reported
automobiles, 944,1S4 reported
trucks, and 1,409,607 reported
tractors.
IN the 1945 Census, farmers
were not requested to report on
their expenditures for gasoline
and other petroleum products. In
the 1915 Census the number of
farms reporting automobiles to-
tailed 3,630,433, those reporting
trucks, 1,229,350 and those re-

Katherine Durham
Greater Than Ever
In Her New Show

interviewed by David J. Bethea)
NEW YORK CITY (ATLAS)-
Katherine Durham has every
thing a gal needs and then some
more. More bounteous and raw
ishing than ever, leave it to her
to stir the pulse into a franzy.
That is exactly what happened
when she breezed into the Broad
way Theatre in rollicking style,
leading an ensemble of expert
dancers and songsters in a masi-
cal called, "Rhapsodie Caribe,"
and it's been a pretty good while
since downtowners have wit
messed anything like it.
"Rhapsodie Caribe" is on the
revuish side, but it is ever alive,
lusty with an enhancing gaudi-
ness that seems to stick with
you. It features such high lights
as "Brazilian Suite" blended
artfully with Cuban and Mexican
rhythms and Jazz sequences and
Martinique routines in such rap
turous fancy as to feed the pleas
urable appetite with a musical
and dancing dish Of rare variety
of entertainment.
