PFRAGISTS LEAVE
FOR RALLY1N CAPITAL
Demonstration to Force Sen
ate Action, Not Harass Presi
dent, Says Leader
N
"To stimulate Interest In national suf
frage for women we are roIwt to Wash
ington and participate In a demonstra
tion to be hplu this afternoon 'n that
city Our re-M purpose Is to get action
from the Senate and not to annoy Presi
dent Wilson."
That statement Vas made by Dr.
Sarah II. Lockrey, of this city, who es
corted several members of the Pennsyl
vania branch, National Woman's party,
to Washington. The delegation left
Broad street station at 10:30 and will
apprar it th Lafayette statue late this
afternoon.
Arre-trd l.ust Tuesday
I as Tuesday a delegation of women
reprisentlng the party were arrested
'hen they attrmpted a demonstratlcn at
thi statue.
"The arrests," said Doctor Lockrey,
"were a violation of our constitutional
rights and cannot be Justified by the
most rabid antlsuffraglst. The House
of Itepresentatlves has passed tho suf
frage amendment, but to gain any re
sults from that action we must win the
approval of the Senate. For seven
months that body has been silent. Why?
"What are the forces that are work
ing against the liberation of wqmen?
These are the questions that must be
answered.
-"Tho charge that our activity is a
reflection upon the President Is absurd,
and. In fact, too childish to consider.
History Recalled
During the Civil War when Susan
Anthony was fighting for our cause, she
was asked to wait until tho close of the
war. "Tho war ended and fifty years
have passed, but suffrage In America
, is not a reality. Xovvjs the time for the
, .Senate to pass upon "this question that
lb so vital to tho llfo of tho nation."
, In the party were Mrs. Lawrence
Lewis. Miss Lavlnla L. Dock, of Fayettc
vllle; Mies Kate C. Heffelfinger, of Sha
mbkln, and Miss Mary Wlnsor and Miss
Cora Crawford, of Philadelphia.

Hundreds of persons attended the

the grounds led by the Firemen's Band.
All were costumed in tho national colors.

"GARABED" A CLOSED BOOK
Committee Agreed Not to Divulge
Principles on Whicb Based
Ilo.ton, Aug. 12. Hdward F. Miller,
at Newton, Mass., a member of the com
mittee of engineers who reported un
favorably on "Garabed," refused to dis
cuss the matter further. He said:
"So far as any action on the part of
thn committee, cither Individually or col
lectively Is concerned, the Garabed affair
Is a closed book. We were asked to
make an Investigation of Mr. Glrngos
slan's so-called Invention and we did so.
Wo reported the principles on. which It
was based were unsound. I havo noth
ing to add to that statement. By that
I mean the committee ngrced not to
divulge tho principles on which It is
based."
Relative to the report, there is a gieal
stock-selling clique behind "Garabed."
Mr. Miller said:
"If the American public, once having
had a look at Mr. GlrasoRslan's model
Is foolish enough to put money Into It.
all right. That's their lookout. They
will be the kind of people who believe
they can pull themselves up by their
bootstraps."

Th
Number nine'9 is now
"Miss Private Secretary
A WAY off in another room they used to put her, so
- that the noise of the typewriter would not'disturb
the other workers.
A fine capable girl she was, too, but no chance to
prove it. No individuality no personal part in the
bigger things no opportunity for real advancement.
Somebody suggested Noiseless Typewriters the
salesman's anti-noise arguments sounded reasonable
and several machines were put in for a trial.
They are still there. "Number nine" is now "Miss
Private Secretary." She does more work better
work more important work than ever before. And
she does it in less ti?ne. The speed and durability of
the Noiseess Typewriter are just as gratifying as its
blessed freedom from noise.

EDISON DICTATING MACHINE W

41 years old today
Forty-one years ago today, August 12th, 1877,
w Edison made this sketch of the original
dictating machine and sent it to his assist
ant. It marked the birth of the dictating
machine, which Edison, as an important
part of his life's work, has developed into
the modern Ediphone.
It was one problem to make a machine talk;
it was another and equally great problem
to make it behave, so that business men
who are now writing over a million Better
Letters a day with The Ediphone would
have a secretaryy with ideal abilities.
A third problem that Edison's initiative has
solved is the national service behind The
Ediphone a service that enables you to
call upon vour local Ediphone office with
. the assurance that they have the system
for the installation of the equipment and
its future maintenance, to insure an in
vestment which will pay for itself twice
a year in efficiency and economy.
