Whatever the outcome of the proceedings initiat- ed in Tennessee courts to restrain the governor and state officials from proclaiming ratification of suf-’ frage, suffrage leaders have no fear that the ballot will be withheld from woman in November. Should the decision be adverse and it is promptly appealed to the United States supreme court, as it would be, and expedited before that tribunal, there is hardly a doubt that in the light of the court’s rul- ing on the Ohio: cases the Tennessee contention would be overruled and -ratification approved. The point at issue is practically the same as in Ohio. There it was contended that ratification of the suffrage and prohibition amendments was in- complete without submission to a referendum under the state constitution. The supreme court held that the federal constitution prescribed the manner of ratification by the legislatures, or by convention, but: made no requirement for a referendum after ratification by a legislature. ..The: Tennessee argument is that the state con- stitution requires that no amendments shall ‘be - matified except by a legislature elected on that issue.. The federal comstitution makes no quali- . fications, and unless the United States supreme TWENTY YEARS AGO_ An-un--n;-—Ccu-ly Commissioner.

In the first fine days of June ‘e may be found by burn or loch in @ dozen parts of Scotland, says a cor- respondent. He is usually of the tin- Ker class, and his outfit is of the sim- plest—a water telescope made of wood and a bit of common glass, and a cleft stick to pull up the mussels, in any one of which he may find a small for- tune. These mussel-pearls from the Ythan and Teith and other Scottish streams fetch good prices; one was sold not long ago for fully $250. Pearls are found in Ognada mussels also, some of them of considerable value, But in Canada there is little or no private ownership of waters, so that' @ur pearl fishers run no risk, as do the Scots, of being arrested for poaching. l ~Montreal Herald.

There is no’'reason why, if the Tennessee court grants:the injunction, the appeal should not be made, argued and decided * before election day. Should the federal ‘court by any chance decide against suffrage on the point raised, the country can better afford to lose the money spent in preparing to qualify the women as voters than to deprive them of that right through failure to be ready if the decision, as it is believed to be practically certain, upholds the ratification by Tennessee. g o— : With the Red armies in rout it is easy to under- stand the soviet delegates’ irritation at. the reluct- ance of the Poles to agree to the terms offered. —_— : .

Winslow of Boston, who elalms a patent for his concep- tion of how to do it. He holds that 1f one has to read pages on one gide of 2 book only this will be held more easily, the eyes will not wander, there will ‘be no necessity for chdnging the position of the head and neck, Thus | reading, especially of big. heavy vol- umes, will be less fatigning, not only to the eyes, head and neck, but also to the arms and hands. : Mr. Winslow’s idea is:to print a | book so that you read straight ahead from right-hand page to right-hand page, these being numbered consecu- tively; then, when you have read through to the last right hand page, you turn the book upside down and continue reading as' before, what in ordinary books are left hand pages now being right-hand pages. This, of course, involves printing all left hand pages upside down and numbering them consecutively from the back:of the book. This would easily be ar- ranged by the printer in laying out the forms, though to get the pagina- tion of a large book correct would re- quire some nice calculation on the printer’s. part.
