Changing One's nnltilnn. It Boem,

courage
Hut when one has taken a public stand
on a big vital matter, such ns whether
or not women should hne the vote, to
go over to the opposite camp and to run
the consequent tlsk ot all sorts ot jeers
nnd charges of Inconsistency nnd trea
son, In n step that qnly the drhe ot one's
conscience nnd deepest convictions could
be responsible for
Mv defection from the ranks of the
nntls was not lightly mndc, or with
out due consideration. For nlinost a
cnr, even before I had In m own mind
begun to question tho logic of "nntl" nr-
guments, t realize now that I was a
doubting Thomns
Their strongest lontcntinns. which In
the beginning I had regarded as axioms,
so Incontcslnbly truthful did lhe ap

facts did not bear annljsls. And Inttci

"woman's place was the home" Mot,--oxer
I still believe It nnd I think overs

with her haWng a say about how laws

make, converts with the slogan "Woman's

home woiking and although, personally
my department store position was a de
sirable one, 1 felt the Inconsistency ot
not practicing what f was preaching. It
my place was In the home, why wasn't l

And then, too, this disturbing question

Practical demonstrations ot gas main

were features of the moinlng sessions of
tho Pcniislvnnla Gas Association, held
on the north roof garden ot tho Adclphia
Hotel today. L. R. Button, retiring pies
Ident, presided.
C. Edwin Bartlett dellveied an address
on "Heating Water by Gns." "Plum
bers," Mr. Bailett said, "have in many
cases been Ill-used by gas companies. It
Is a wonder that plumbers do not adopt
the old Trojan slogan: "Beware of the
Greeks bearing gifts.' The plumbei's
trade la as honorable as any other line of
business, and the trade has many customs
ot which the gas man knows nothing-.''
H. E. Ehlers, assistant engineer of the
Public I'tllltles Commission of Pennsjl
vanla, outlined tho work done by the
Public Service Commlbalon. "We have
made a survey," he said, "of conditions
In the gas Industry, nnd ot meter testing,
meter provers and the subject of com
plaints. Co-operation between gns salesmen and
manufacturers was urged by A. B. Kelly,'
of the Morris Advertising Agencj. The
lack of such co-operation. Mi Kelly
said. Is In many cases a serious handi
cap to nil parties concerned.
At a meeting of the convention held at
the Old York Roard Country Club last
night the following were elected offi
cers of the association for the ensuing
vears: B. F. Cresson, Easton, Pa., presi
dent; F. P. Duggan. Lewlston, Pa., and

secretary and treasurer.
An expected feature of the session in
the form of a paper on "Records nnd
Forma for JJse In Gaa Company Valua
tion Work," by R. H. Whipple, was
omitted owing to the latter's enforced
absence from the meeting. Concluding
the convention Informal remarks were
made by the newly eleoted president, B.

J. H. Gaylord. of Hazleton;
Secretary and Treasurer W. O. Lamson,

Mr. Cresson Bald that the association

Its seven eara" existence and expressed
the hope that he would live up to the
high mark set by them Ex-President
Dutton made a few felicitous observa
tions before adjourning, congratulating
the Incoming officers and thanking the
old ones for their co-operation and zeal
In behalf of the organization. At a mo
tion of J II. Keppelman, of R catling, a
rising vote of thanks was given by tha
convention to the Committee of Enter

THREATENED IN CITY
Local Men May Declare Walk
out if Non-union Men Go to
Chicago ns "Scabs."
The causes which precipitated the
walkout of nearly 16,000 carpenters In
Chicago mav bring on a similar strike
In Ibis cltv nt any time, according to
Leonard Kraft, secretary of the Building
Tradi'S Council of Philadelphia and
Molnll.v. If the conditions now existing
In Chicago arc duplicated here, he said,
thete will he n strike. There are about
loon non-union carpenters In this city, he
snld, who might go to Chicago to tnke
the plate of ntilkerA
"Tno strike In Chicago." snld Mr. Ktaft.
"Is the result o, the Installiillnn In build
ings of sheet-metal parts, In substitution,
for hard wood, by sheet-metal workers In
stead ot carpenters. The American Fed
elation of Labor decreed that the work
belongs to the sheet-metal workers, ns a
result of which the Chicago Brotherhood
of Carpenters withdrew from the Building
Tt tides Council nnd declared the strike.
Higher wnges are demanded by the car
penters for the loss of tho work trans
foiled to tho metal wotkers
"Homo builders ate substituting sheet
metal for hard wood In this city," said
Mr Kraft, "but not to nn extent to Justify
nn.v nulon by the carpenters here. The
effect ot this nlso Is partly lost because'
building opoiaflons nro slack bore nt
present If the metal should bo used ns
much hero as In Chicago nnd the work of
Installation taken from the carpenters,
tho Philadelphia union would take notion
similar to tint In Chicago "
