Y.—Maintaining that the indorsement of woman suffrage by the Democratic and Republican National committees makes absolutely sure the submission of the Federal Suffrage amendment at this session of the United States Legislature, Mrs. Ida Husted Harper, chairman of the department of editorial correspond- ence of the Leslie Woman Suffrage Commission, Inc., has recently sketch- ed the steps leading to the suffrage victory in Great Britain contrasting the situation there with the situation in the United States. «While the measure in the United States,” said Mrs. Harper, “lies in a pigeonhole of the Senate committee, which has not dared bring it to a vote lest it be defeated, it goes through the House of Lords in England by a large majority, is signed by the King and becomes the law of the land! And now while the English, Scotch, Welsh and Irish women are celebrating their political freedom, the women of the United States are still working and maneuvering from the Atlantic to the Pacific to bring enough pressure on the Senate for what? To ratify the action of the Lower House and grant the suffrage as the British House of Lords has done? Not at all __it has no such power—but only to make it possible for the women to carry their case to forty-eight other Legislative tribunals. The situation certainly is humiliat- ing to the women of the United States, and it should be equally so to the men, but there is one very large extenuating circumstance in which both can find solace. The equal suf- frage which millions of women in the United States already possess was given to them by millions of men of their own free will. The struggle of the British women has always been with their Parliament. There was nothing they so strongly opposed as a referendum, and the voters never had a chance to pass upon it. When the bill was in the House of Commons its enemies strove to have it submit- ted to a referendum, but the proposal was rejected as without a precedent. This was the last resort of its foes in the House of Lords, but the members would have none of it. This Representation of the People Bill covers a wide field of franchise extension and is the largest reform bill of any kind that ever was adopt- ed by the British Parliament. It adds about 8,000,000 to the electorate, of whom 6,000,000 are women over 30 years of age, who are “occupiers” (rent or rate payers) or the wives of “occupiers.” It is believed that they will constitute about two-fifths of the whole number of voters. Taken as a whole, moreover, the bill is a remarkable expression of the new spirit of democracy, and its speedy acceptance by the lords with little change, is marvellous. At its final reading in the House of Commons, on December 7, it was accepted without division. In the House of Lords it passed its first reading without ob- jection, and on December 17, the first debate took place at its second read- ing. The objections were made that have done duty on both sides of the ocean for half a century, but the bill Mrs. Frank Moyer, who has been a sufferer from cancer for over a year, died at her home on the Kennedy farm, west of town, on Friday even- ing. Luther Smith, of Johnstown, last week purchased the home of Lyman Smith, near the station. Lyman Smith bought the Dr. Allison home and expects to occupy it about May first. Re PLEASANT GAP ITEMS. “Get ready, boys,” there has been a wedding in our town recently. Mrs. Harry Brown, of Bellefonte, visited last week with her parents of this place. Miss Elsie Herman spent the week- end with her sister, Mrs. Harry Grove, of Tyrone. Pomeroy Brooks, of State College, was a Sunday visitor among friends in this place. * Mrs. R. H. Appleby, of Harrisburg, is visiting with her grandmother, here at the Gap. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ripka, of Mil- ton, visited last week with the former’s parents, in this place. The public sale of M. P. Musser last Saturday was well attended and everything brought good prices. There will be services in the Meth- odist church Sunday evening, this be- ing the last service before conference. Miss Myrtle Deitrick, teacher of the intermediate school, spent the week-end at her home in Hublersburg. Meaning of Mizpah. Mizpah, to the modern sentimental- ist, is nothing but a word on a wed- ding ring which stands vaguely for remembrance. But Mizpah to the an- cient Israelite was something much more solemn than any contract be- tween Laban and Jacob could have made it. It represented the scene of national assemblies, the rallying ground of armies, and the jumping- off place for attacks upon the Philis- tines. From the spot of the imme- morial beacon or watch tower of Ja- cob, Samuel judged the people; and a good send-off from Mizpah augured well for the Israelite and bad business for the Philistines. It was near Miz- pah that Samuel set up another cairn of stones and called it Eben-Ezer, in gratitude for his great victory. We are still waiting to hear of the capture of the site of the Stone of Help.— London Chronicle. ——————— —_ One of the English papers re- ports the case of a farmer of Essex who has been summoned for using his barley to feed pigs. It is not a case of deliberate waste at all, appar- ently, but one arising from the far- mer’s convictions on the subject of drink. He objects to growing barley to make beer, and, since bacon is a commodity always in demand, and is not too plentiful these days, he has come to the conclusion that his bar- ley will be a good deal better employ- ed in fattening his pigs than in add- ing to the country’s beer supply. is a logical position, and one wonders -what the magistrate will make of it. —The Monitor. was sent to the committee without di- vision. A memorial was presented, urging favorable action signed by about 600 women, including the Duch- ess of Marlborough. The woman suf- frage clause was again discussed on January 9, Lord Loreburn, the High Chancellor, moving to strike it out. The motion was, however, defeated by 71 to 134. The Archbishops of Canterbury and York and the 12 bishops who voted, including the Lord Bishop of London, gave their votes in favor. This was not a surprise as woman suffrage has for many years received strong sup- port from the Church of England. At the final reading the opposition was defeated. From the time the conference to frame this bill was appointed by the Speaker of the House of Commons, about a year and a half ago, the wom- an suffrage cause has been represent- ed by Mrs. Henry Fawcett, president of the National Union of Women’s Suffrage societies, the original and oldest suffrage association not only in Great Britain but in Europe. Its ac- ceptance by the Parliament and the King marks the conclusion for her of 50 years of unremitting work for the enfranchisement of women, and she stands today among the most highly honored in Great Britain.—Christian Science Monitor. A Lesson in Manners. This is the way the agent got a les- son in manners. He called at a busi- ness office and saw nobody but a pre- possessing though capable-appearing young woman. “Where’s the boss? he asked ab- ruptly. “What is your business?” she asked politely. “None of yours!” he snapped. “I got a proposition to lay before the firm, and I want to talk to somebody about it.” “And you would rather talk to a gentleman?” “Ye 4 “Well,” answered the lady, smiling sweetly, “so would I. But it seems that it’s impossible for either one of us to have our wish, so we'll have to make the best of it. State your bus- iness please!” ——————————— How She’d Find it Out.

Contests, Smokeless powder is made in sticks, something like macaroni. through a number of processes, and for the sake of safety those processes are conducted in small buildings re- mote from one another. = Ina New Jersey plant the powder is conveyed from one building to another on flat cars drawn by electric motor cars. Six one-hundred-pound open boxes are loaded on each flat car. The wheel trucks have to be blocked by a wooden bar, which the brakeman adjusts before the motor starts. One day last spring a brakeman failed to adjust his wooden bar prop- erly. The car was derailed and the powder was spilled down an embank- ment. No guard happened to be near, and as quickly as possible the brake- man and the motorman shoveled up the powder and put it back on the car. In a few minutes the load was deliv- ered at the grinding house, and no one except the two men knew of the acci- dent. Unfortunately, they had shov- eled up some gravel with the powder. The three men in the grinding house heard the harsh crunching of the small stones as they passed through the rollers. Every powder-mill employee re- ceives minute instructions about what to do when anything goes wrong, and one of the three, following instruc- tions, threw open the door to make a way of escape. The crunching continued. One of the gravel-stones emitted a spark as the rollers cruslhred it. In an instant there was a great flash and a roar, and the building disappeared. Three blackened and mangled corpses were picked up. In order to save thent- selves from rebuke and perhaps from discharge, two workmen had sacri- | iced the lives of three other faithful men and placed the lives of thousands in jeopardy. In a Delaware plant a young man operating a cutting machine, in which long sticks of smokeless powder are cut into shorter pieces, saw an iron nail coming down with the powder. He did not have time to stop the ma- chine before the knives struck the nail. If he tried to snatch it out he might lose a hand. If he let it go nothing but a miralcle could prevent an explosion, for the nail would be sure to give off a spark if struck by the knife. There was only a fraction of a sec- ond in which to decide. With the cool- ness that characterizes those who spend their days in the presence of danger, he snatched the nail from un- der the knife and put it into his pock- et. So quickly did he move that not yes the skin of his hand was broken. —Ex. Road Construction to Cease During the War. Road construction during the war unless of direct aid in winning the war—has been classed by the govern- ment as “non-essential,” and is taboo. And, if such a road is to be built by a bond issue, it will have to wait until peace times. This was the word from the capi- tol issues committee of the Treasury Department. No security issued will be O. K’d for unessential road con- struction it was formally announced. The war finance corporation bill, now before Congress, will empower the committee—or a similar commit- tee—to enforce its rulings. Highway construction has been classed with rivers and harbors im- provements, in certain instances nec- essary as a war measure, but gener- ally to, be deferred. ————————""7 Use for Coffee Grounds. The question of what to do with the coffee-grounds has at last been satis- factorily answered, says the Popular Science Monthly. Just pour them out into the sink strainer and dump them into the garden. They contain some valuable fertilizing properties, includ- ing a large percentage of nitrogen and a fair amount of potassium and phosphorus. remmam——" Woman’s Case Startles Bellefonte A business man’s wife could not read or sew without a sharp pain in her eyes.

I couldn't do any lifting and when I sat down I could hardly get up with- out help. I also had rheumatic twinges. After I had taken two box- es of Doan’s Kidney Pills the rheu- matic pains disappeared and I was re- lieved of the other troubles. I have had very little kidney trouble since.” Price 60 cents at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Miller had.
