A good man nthfir bumps registered 14,000 Poundl eac! These occurred at speeds above 100 miles per hour. They were recorded by the pair of robots riding one wing. The couple on the landing gear found no stresses in take-off equal to twice the plane’s weight, but in landing “reported” pressure equal to about two and a half times the ship’s weight, con- centrated. mainly on the gear.

AmN'l‘lC CITY, N. J. De7irs ATLANTIC CITYV. N 4 l d va'&- oz, e League Gets Portrait - SUSAN B. ANTHONY PICTURE GIVEN TO WO)‘!N.. LIFE-SIZE portrait of Susan B. Anthony, famous leader of the movement for woman's suffrage and founder of the National American Woman’s Suffrage As- sociation, was presented today by the Anthony Foundation to the Na- tional League of Women Voters, the lineal descendent of the suffrage or- ganization. The portrait was painted in 1890 by Jerome K Uhl, a Washing- ton artist of the last century. Officers of the league and the foun- dation made up the small group witness- ing the presentation ceremonies held in the headquarters of the National League of Women Voters on Seventeenth streef Mrs. Bertha Yoder Werthner, preside: and Mrs. Anna Hendley, honorary presi. dent of the Anthony Foundation, for- mally presented the portrait. Introduced by Miss Belle Sherwin, president, Miss Elizabeth J. Hauser of Girard, Ohio, the. painting for the National | League of Women Voters and spoke of her personal acquaintance with Miss space for a picture of that size, and while the question was still acute Mr. Uhl died and the portrait went to storage. Nobody seemed to be re- sponsible and because the suffragists had so many demands for money and 50 little of it the portrait was neglected for some 25 years.” Mrs. Hendley told about the organiza- tion of the Anthony Foundation in 1922 and how years later, in March, 1925, she was called to the telephone to re- ceive the message that in two hours the Anthony portrait was to be sold in a local auction room for storage charges. Not wishing to see the valuable por- trait lost, she began calling organiza- tions and people in an attempt to secure enough money to rescue the picture. But the task was not easy. Finally she succeeded in having the auction post- poned for & week and with other offi- cers of the foundation started out to raise the money. Prominent persons contributed, but after a week's effort the sum which she had raised was still Anthony during the campaign for the #short of the necessary amount. ratification of the suffrage amendment. Idrs Ida Husted Harper, author of the | “Life and Work of Susan B. Anthony” and one of-the few living friends of | Miss Anthony, who was to have taken rt in the ceremonies, was not present use of severe iliness. The painting is a life-sized portrait, showing Miss Anthony in the famous garnet ulvet with lace fichu, which was | the gift of admiring friends. The well m"”"’x‘fi.’i‘ Siae when speaking have jd of poise W] 7 faithfully reproduced. Address by Mrs. Hendley. In telling of the historical significance of the portrait Mrs. Hendley said: “Every year from the time of the organization of the National WomAlM Suffrage Association in 1868 it held annual conventions in Washington, and | every year at that time Susan B. An- thony came down at the head of her | cohorts in constantly increasing num- The convention speakers were ‘among the most brilliant of those who came to this city of perpetual oratory, and Miss Anthony was in constant de- mand by writers, photographers and other artists. In 1890 Jerome K. Uhl secured from Miss Anthony, then 70 years old, the sittings for a life-sized picture, which ‘was _received by her friends with praise. The price of 32 500 which Mr. Uhl placed on the after it had been encased in a gol unea shadow box 10 feet high and 5 feet wide was too great for the suffragists— very few of whom were women of wealth. It was also difficult to find Auction Scene Described. Mrs. Hendley then described the stor- age room on the morning of the auction, filled with women of means who had come to-a sale of costly rugs and the few members of the Anthony group who had come to atfempt to rescue the por- trait. When the time for bidding came there was little interest. The Anthony officers bid their money, but it was not enough. Finally after an appeal by Mrs. Hendley in behalf of the memory of a great woman had been augmented by the eloquence of the auctioneer, the women who had come to buy rugs found themselves contributing toward the pic- ture of a suffrage leader and the por- g‘ntl‘z was saved for the Anthony Foun- n. The portrait was first hung in the old Shoreham_ Hotel, whose hospitality Miss Anthony had enjoyed during her last national convention, held in Washi ton just one month before her death 1896. But two years later the hotel was sold for a business block. The picture was then moved to the Woman's City Club, and later to the headquarters of the Anthony Foundation, Since the -headquarters of the foun- dation were abandoned the picture has I;eefidwil':haut a hnn;e. until ul;dly ‘:: oun permanent resting place the office of the president of the Na. tional League of Women Voters, the or- ganization which as an outgrowth of the suffrage association directs its ef- forts toward the promotion of the re- sponsible participation of women in Rgovernment.
