Workers of Dauphin County May Eschew Sodas and Sundaes on August 15 DENIAL MAY LAST LONGER Central Penna. Association Will Likely Co-operate in Effort to Get Money Hundreds of members of the o nian Suffrage Party in Dauphin county as well as hundreds of sympathizers with the cause not yet formally affi liated with an organization will go "dry for a day" if a plan now being considered by officers o£ the party in Harrisburgr are carried out. The proposed action of the local suffragists is the amplification of a plan just announced by Dr. Anna Howard Shaw and the women's con gressional committee of the National AVonian Suffrage party. These have established a national self-sacrifice day, August 15, throughout the coun try to raise $50,000 to carry on the campaign work in Pennsylvania, Ne vada, Nebraska, the Dakotas, Montana and Missouri. Funds are required, and the present members of the party should be given an opportunity to show their interest in the work by their financial aid, officers say. "Dr. Shaw's idea of self-denial in the matter of soda fountain indulgences is an excellent one for this purpose. J feel that a great majority of the women of the county will be ready to deny themselves the refreshments to aid the cause of votes for women," said one of the officers of the Dauphin county party to-day. "Our plans are not yet perfected, hut tentatively, 1 should say, they will be to divide the county into dis tricts, centering each district in some large city or town, and placing a suff ragist or committee of suffragists in charge of each. There may be novel modifications of the 'dry' plan, which will be made later in maturing the idea." Another plan being considered is the continuation of the self-sacrifice period to include two weeks' time. Officers of the first district of the Wo man Suffrage party in Dauphin county which includes Hnrrisburg are Dr. Huth Deeter, vice-leader; Dr. Maud Kxlev, treasurer; Mrs. C. Uiles Flower, secretary. If this plan is carried out the first two weeks in August will probably be selected as the time. It is likely that the Central Penn sylvania Suffrage Association, which operates in Harrisburg, and of which Mrs. Mabel Cronise Jones is president will co-operate in the movement, al though this could not be determined to-day as Mrs. Jones is out of the city.
