They took that cunning, flared up brim And when they had designed The new hat, it possessed a shape That flared up thus behind. I remember, I remember The hats they wore last year, And some were high and some were low And some stuck on the ear.

New York, Sept. .—Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, in her apartment in the Ho- tel Belmont, gave to a reporter the first comprehensive statement of her plans as a leader of the suffragist movement in the Bast.

But it is impossible in this day and under existing circumstances for women alone to hope to win the vic- tory we are after, unless we get the co-operation of men. “Until I got that co-operation I was unwilling to show myself as a leader In the suffrage movement. Now that I am assured we shall have all the financial backing that either of the two dominant political parties has I have no hesitancy in proclaiming my- self as in the forefront of the move- ment to get universal suffrage.” SURPLUS NOW ABOUT 100,000 Large Reduction in Number of Idle Freight Cars.
