Woman suffrage, alwaya taboo in the
dtscuaalons of the State Federation of Penn
sylvania "Women, was let Into that organiza
tion today. The wall which has kept It out
alnce the federation was organized was
battered down by parliamentarians among
the suffragist members, while anti-suffrage
members, their forces small, made a heroic
fight during all the morning session to
preserve the citadel.
So It happens that "the first order of

Kconslderatlon of a resolution which rails
for the expunging of a clause In the fed
eration's constitution which had barred
suffrage rights from 'the dlecuelons In
the conventions. That tne rule will he
stricken out waa foretold In the near
unanimous all ezcert one vote of the
1000 women for the "conalderatlon of the
motion."
The arguments preceding the vote on
the motion were pivoted on a resolution
to amend the constitution and "a .technical
error" made by the, secretarial department
of the federation In sending out notloea
to members that changes were to be made
in the bylaws." The antl-auffraglsts held

Surgeons at Clinical Con
gress Hear of Boon for
Infantile Paralysis
WRIGGLY DANCES PRAISED
Crystallized Opinions
' of Visiting Surgeons
FOUR points brought out in third
session of seventh annual meeting
of Clinical Congress of Surgeons:
1"Wiggly" modern dances
help digesion and general
health, "joggling" tho spleen, stimu
lating circulatory and cerebral sys
tems and strengthening muscles.
2 But from a moral stand-
point, tho effect of "wiggly"
dances is questionable.
3 Operations would be re
e duced ninety-nine per cent
and cancer and tuberculosis yrould
be checked If peoplo underwent
periodic physical examinations, tak
ing as much care of body as of
automobiles, furnaces and business.
4 Nerve implantation may
prove panacea for paralysis
sufferers.
A remarkable .demonstration In nerve
Implantation, which 'surceohs say may re
sult Ih restoring to usefulneaa paralysed,
ltmba of thousands of infantile paralysis
victims, was given today by Or. A. B. QUI
at the University of Pennsylvania medical
cchool before a lars;e lathering; of visitors
at tha Clinical Congress of Surgeons con
vening here.
Doctor QUI used as his subjects dogs, rab.
blta and guinea pigs' suffering from paraly
sis of the lags. He Implanted hundred of
new nerves Into the paralysed muscle.
These nerves, ha told the surgeons as

We are 'bothered to death by two

1 QUERY FROM PITTSBURGH
From Pittsburgh came the followlngt
We received a call -today from two
agenta of a steamship Una running out
of New York, who told us that It would
be useless for ua to attempt to ship by
Philadelphia because there are not
proper loading facilities on the docks
to handle our heavy pieces of machin
ery. These men declare that while
Philadelphia haa docks costing several
millions each, they lack hoisting ap
paratus of any kind, and that It Is
not possible" to hoist Into the hold of a
vessel anything that welgha over three
tons. Aa you welt know, the freight
we have for South America la very
bulky, weighing from five to twenty
five tona per package. We are very
