Recent events have taught Ameri- cans modesty, if not humility, when it comes to talking about war. The cultured nations of Europe have shown us such wonderful ways of ob- literating whole armies, of whelming crowded cities and demol- ishing stately vessels, that we havs lost some of our national cockiness. However, here comes some sustenance for our self-respect, direct from a meeting of chemists at San Francisco. Ir closing the session of a gas cou- EBress one of the experts pointed out that anything the Europeans may have achieved is also possible for the Americans. Nay, more; he said that by the time war could me declared on us, and the fighting actually com- menced, some of the processes. now being exploited, such as the use of chlorine gas, would be obsolete. in- stead of that crude, coarse, method of asphyxiating soldiers, we may have our choice between arsenturetted hy- drogen plain or combined with hy- drocyanic acid, the effect of which would be to do away with any in- vading force as completely as the army of Sennacherib when ‘‘the Death Angel breathed in the face of the foe as he passed.” Thus is the genius of American ience and the fruits of American research brousht to the relief of any apprehenzions that might have becn slowly consuming the over-anxious publie. Autoists’ Spending Habits. (New York Evening Post.) No simple American summer hotel, according to Punch, dreams of having less than two bath bedroom; and so luxurious have va- cationists made us that fresh country milk, eggs, and vegetables are sup- plied to the inhabitants of the remot- est rural districts. A novel complaint comes from New Hampshire. It has been discovered that the procession of summer pleasure seekers, whose life is an apparent round of amuse- ment and spending, has a disintegrat- ing effort on the morale of the na- tive youth. Any student of village and farm life, it is contended, will testify that the recurring spectacle of motorists signing jaunty checks de- stroys for the young people all the merit of toil and thrift. It is safe to assert that this is the first time that the spending and the leisure of the suntmer visitors, with all their pecuniary advantages to the natives, have been seriously objected to. That there is something in deny. But would the New Hamp- shire journal hardly recommend that all the State's innkcepers, garage own- ers, and produce venders unite in urging tourists to be economical? We think, too, that a beneficial as well as an evil social effect could be seen in the mingling of the city sojourners with the permanent population. The progressiveness of New Hampshire has undoubtedly been furthered by the multitudes of visitors that yearly penetrate her hills. rooms for each Two Indiana Men. (From the Philadelphia Inquirer.) While James Whitcomb Riley was being honored last week the residents of Liberty, in the same State, were unveiling a tablet to the memory of Joaquin Miller who'was also a na- tive of Indiana. The ‘“‘grand old man of the moun- tains,” as he was called, was never very well understood by his fellow countrymen, and comparatively few persons, if asked unexpectedly, could say whether he is dead or alive. Many have heard of his, home in the tree teps of California, but his fame came to him when he visited England. The stories concerning the red-shirted and hairy man who stood before Kings give him more notoriety than ever came from his poetry. He was christened Cincinnatus Helne Miller and was the son of a farmer who emigrated from Kentucky to Indiana. He was a pioneer and a lover of nature, and, appropriately enough, the monument to him is a great boulder taken from the farm on which he was said to have been btorn. His verse was rugged and had the flavor of the mountains. His 1ccognition first came from abroad, but this memorial proves that poet like a prophet is really sometimes re- membered at home, ‘Why Boast?

He went under and when he came up he shouted again: “I can’t swim!” The man on the bank watched him with languid interest The man in the water sank again. When he came up he gasped, “I can't swim!” “Well, my friend,” commented the man on the bank, “this is a queer time to be boasting of it.” MOONE'S EMERALD 0L FOR VARICOSE VEINS They Are Always Dangerous Readers are advised not to trifle with enlarged swollen veins, but to procure from a good druggist an orig- inal two ounce bottle of Emerald Oil (full strength) at once and start this simple Home Treatment which gradu- ally reduces the veins to normal.

STATE SUFFRAGISTS HOLD CONVENTION Sixth Annual Session Opened At Unity Hall, Hartford Hartford, Conn, Oct 19.—Cam- paigning for woman's suffrage in New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts kept many well known advocates cf equal suffrage from attending the sixth annual convention of the Con- necticut association which began in Unity hall, today. The delegate body represented the membership of seven- | ty-seven affiliated leagues. Addition- {al delegates were constanly arriving as the sessions will not end until Thursday noon . Mrs. Thomas N. Hepburn, the pres- ident, welcomed the delegates at tho opening. Her address was brief and ! to the point. She sald that many of the state’s best workers were aiding the work in neighboring states. She said that it was a momentous oc- casion when the men of New Jersey were to decide today whether or not in that state, She added that the im- portance of this was that men had right to make the decision, yet wom- en had not been consulted and could not make their desires known in a way which would be effective. The Connecticut workers also are giving their time to the campaign in New York and Massachusetts where the vote will be pélled on November 2nd. ‘Women of Generation. Mrs. Hepburn, speaking upon the general topic of equal suffrage, sald it was an inspiration to speak (o suffrage workers because the suffragists were the women of this generation who not only realize that the woman’s point of view is vitally needed in the outside world but who are ready to give time and money to tuke this step in human progress. People are ready to say that woman's suffrage is sure to come but they do not realize that ‘it can only come as every other reform has come, because some people have had inspirations erough to make the sacrifice neces- sary to bring it to pass. Mrs, Hep- burn said: “We take it for granted religious freedom and political freé- dom for men but those who secured Loth dared to go to war with one of the greatest nations on the earth to obtain it. The early woman who se- cured for women the right to an edu- cation, the right to own property, tha right to their own children were os- tracized by men and women of their SAGE AND SULPHUR DARKENS GRAY HAIR Brush this through faded, lifeless locks and they become dark, glossy, youthful. Hair that loses its color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keap her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beau- tiful dark 'shade of hair which is so attractive, use only this old-time recipe. Nowadays we get this famous mix- ture by asking at any drug store for a 50-cent bottle of “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,” which darkens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. Besides, it takes off dand- ruff, stops scalp itching and falling hair. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the | gray hair disappears; but what de- 1 the ladies with Wyeth's Sage ulphur is that, besides beauti- fully: darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an ap- | pearance of abundance. in your | the | Pape’s Diapepsin instantly neutral- | epsant purprise | women should have the right to vote' [ [ l our shelves for you to select MEANS:—We look over all we ‘make a careful selection models of the year, selectin type of figure—the short full figure.

Mrs. Bennett Welcomes Delegates, The delegates were welcomed to the city by Mrs. M. Toscan Bennett, president of the Hartford league and treasurer of the state assoclation. “Much water has flowed under the tridge,” said Mrs. Bennett “since we last met, and the stream has become a swift current. The president of the United States and several members of his cabinet have declared for woman suffrage. New Jersey, the president's own state, decides today—and for- cver if it decldes rightly—whether women shall vote. If it decides wrongly—but we will not consider that possibility—by giving women the same political rights as men. “Now that we are a year nearer in time and a vast distance nearer in accomplishment, we must realize our debt to those splendid pioneers who have made the path comparatively smooth, also our responsibility towards the younger generation that is eager to complete this preparatory work of obtaining the ballot and to throw our strength, training and education into constructive work. In the campaign states women are put- ting into the work every bit of money, every bit of talent, every bit of human | energy that they can muster. So in greeting you today it is with a feeling ¢f pride .in the suffrage workers not only in the campalgn states but ' in Connecticut.” Praises Pioneers’ Work Mrs. Ernest Thompson Seton, vice president, responded, not only thank- ing Hartford for its welcome but praising the devotion of Mrs, Hepburn to the work, and the appreciation all felt for the work of the pioneers, es- pecially of Mrs. E. D. Bacon, Mrs. Mary J. Rogers and Miss Ellen Burr, three of the survivors of the band. Mrs. Edward Porritt, recording gecretary, made her report. She said that the work centered upon the vote ¢n a proposed constitutional amend- ment which was before the general assembly. The petition of 43,687 verified names, presented was the largest ever sent to the Connecticut legislature. On the day the vote was taken representatives were so flooded with telegrams from all sources. that a recess had to be taken to permit of their distribution. Describes Campaign. Mrs, Porritt described the campaign at the legislature, the hearings, and the appeal to the public. The vote on the question—Yes 103, No 122— she said was an improvement over the vote in 1913 when it was: Yes 71, No 154. “With much less than a ccrresponding advance victory is cer- luin in 1917." said Mrs. Porritt, Mrs. Porritt reported upon organ- | ization work among the leagu | &he said that the enrollment file had | leen carefully scrutinized by Mrs, George H.
