PROGRESS REPORTED IN FIGHT FOR VOTE Women in India Ave Active in Country's Politics —— Colombo, Ceylon, April 25 (By the Assoclated Prees)—The ~political ac- tivities of the women of Ceylon and South Indla are recounted and dis- cussed by Mrs. ‘Dorothy Jinarajedasa in a recent number-of The Saree, a new Ceylonese journal, In 1918, writes. Mrs. Jinarajadasa, the Indlan Natlonal congress passed a resolution calling upon the Southborough com- mittee to enfranchise women on the same terms as men. . This marked the beginning of the woman suffrage movement in Indla and Ceylon, Could Not Recommend Inclusion “Lord Southborough said he could not recommend’ the “{nclusion 'of wo- men because he thought it would be nremature, but he admitted that he considered thére had been a demand. Thereupon a deputation, of, ,women went over to England. We sent two of our members from Bombay to go and speak to the members of the House of, Commons, but the women of Indla 'did not get the vote of the legislative . council. The women realized then that they had to work, and ‘it had been a tremendously use- ful thing for them to have to or- ganize themselves. “Women have taken a great part in the non-co-operation movement, which has brought.men and. women together, working side by side.' The women want education, and are keen on it. - A number of colleges and uni- versities for women havebeen or- ganized. “As soon as the bill was passed giv- ing women the possibility of the vote, we immediately set to work. It was a very interesting campalign and it was successful, Resolution Passed Unanimously “Our resolution was passed unani- mously, and throughout the whole of south India we now have the vote on the same terms as men. The same is the case in the Bombay presidency, in Travancore and in Mysore, where women can also be elected as coun- cillors. Campaigns in Bengal and Behar have resulted in women getting the municipal vote. There are women municipal councillors in Ma- dras. In Burma, a country very nearly related to Ceylon, we shall goon have a Buddhist woman in the council.” RANKS OF G. A, R. BEING DECIMATED One by One Veterans Are Answer- ing the Call of Taps Des Moines, April 26 ( By the As- sociated Press)—The .staunch Dblue line of Civil war veterans, survivors of the historic internecine confiict of more than 60 vears ago, is rapidly be- ing decimated from year to year, ac- cording to figures on file at the head- quartersof the Grand Army of the Republic hoare, In 1922 the number of veterans dwindled by 14,612, a de- crease from an enroliment of 85,618 in 1921 to an enrollment of 71,106 at the beginning of 1023, according to figures in the hands of National Com- mander H, W, Willett here. During that_time the number of active posts in the country decreased from 4,218 to 3,669, indicating the abandonment of 659 posts. Answer Call of Taps. One by one the white haired vet- crans. of Shiloh, Lookout Mountain, Gettysburg and Chickamauga are an- ewering the call of taps which sounded for so many of their com- rades on the fleld of battle from '61’ to '65. Preparations are being made here for the national encampment of the G. A. R. which is to be held in Mil- waukee this fall. Attendance esti- mates have been set at 20,000 as a possible maximum figure. Members of auxiliary organizations including the Sons and Danughters of Veterans, may bring the total attendance up to 50,000, the officials say. * Care for Housing : Great care is being taken this year in the identification and housing of the veterans. Forms will be filled out at each post showing the name, post and organization and on this blank will be filed the housing information, thus avolding confusion in registration and elimination of the red tape that heretofore is said to have been con- fusing to the old soldiers.

POWER PLANT WILL BE WORLIY'S BIGGEST Chicago's New Station Will Have 900,000 Horsepower Capacity Chicago,” April 27.—(By the Asso- clated Press)—Electrical engineers the world over are watching Chicago in he# attempt to rear the largest electric plant in the world——a station whose ultimate capacity will be ap- proximately 900,000 horse .power, or 600,000 kilowatts, The largest plant now In operation anywhere has a ca- pacity rating of 280,000 kilowatts, To Operate in 1924 The new goliath, the project of the Commonwealth Edison Company, pur- veyor Of things electrical to almost the entire Chicago territory, is ex- pected to be in operation by August, 1924, The generating room, whigh is to house, 10 huge steam turbo-gener- ator units, each capable of producing 40,000 and 60,000 kilowatts, will be slightly more than 800 feet long, and 126 feet wide! KEach generator will produce 60-cycle energy at 12,000 volts. The entire plant, comprising three principal units in addition to the turbine room, will occupy 72 acres of city property, Storage space for 300,- 000 tons of coal is_provided. Fuel re- quirements for the anticipated normal operation, which is expected never to reach capacity, will be about 133 cars of coal dally, or approximately 2,- 000,000 tons a year. Fuel Economy the Aim Economy of fuel was a chief aim of the designers,.and to what extent their efforts in this direction were success- ful is indicated by the announcement that the same electrical output under the most efficient operating practice developed 10 years ago would have required close to 3,500,000 tons of coal or 80 per cent more than will be re- quired in the new giant. Availability of super-high-pressure steam boilers with which to operate the turbo-generators was the princi- pal factor productive of the higher NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1923, Unconscious FEHINIST MOVEMENT ‘ Zoe Garland, vaudeville actress, who was removed to a hospital after belngs found unconscious on the pave- ment in front of a New York apart- ment.

The especlally designed steam plant will feed the turbines at 54 pounds to the square inch, which compares with a pres- sure of 325 pounds in the local sta- tion of the Commonwealth Edison Company, the largest and generally accepted as the most efficient fuel- power producer now in operation. Fifty -bollers, five to each generating unit, make up the energy center. Five steel smoke stacks, 19 feet in dlameter and 175 feet high will carry off the smoke from their insatiable throats. Primary Feed Cables Still another superlative appendage of the new plant will be its primary feed cables to other generating sta- tions, designed to facilitate the switch- ing of loads during abnormal “peak; drag periods” at the smaller plants, These cables, 10 in number, and en- tirely underground will be operated at 33,000 volts, to four small power houses. might as well have the best~ WS- QUINBY CO.

As a result of these meetings there has been organiz- ed a body to be known as the “Nation- al Council of Women" which draws its membership from the higher and middle classes of soclety. Little definite progress had been made in the woman's movement fp Peru prior to Mrs. Cati's arrival, Sev- eral clubs existed among Peruvian women soclal,’ charitable and other- wise, but only one to further woman's suffrage. No general organization sim. en, however, had been attempted, as women are not organized for cam- paign purposes in South America. No immediate effort will be made to | § oftain the vote for Peruvian women, a goal which is belleved to be many years in the future. The newly organ- fezd council will work first to secure civil rights for women, such as have been conceded in more progressive countries of the world. Leaders of the movement in Peru recognize that the two greatest obstacles to success age Latin American woman, and the marked clevage between the social classes. Until social lines are less émphasizéd, it will be difficult for the women as a whole to work in har- mony, and progres in the suffrage movement will be less rapid as a con- sequence, Marquisette Curtain Goods Lace Edging 2 5 C yard _§ —— Boys’ Wash Suits it 98¢ Bed Sheets 72x90 8c Men’s Hose Black and Brown lOc Pair Pair Palmolive Soap* Tablets 6for25.c 'FURTHERED IN PERL| Organization Formed for First‘ April 27.—For the, |} in the historic University of 8an Mar- | ilar to the Natlonal Council of Wom- | are the natural timidity of the aver-|/§ ECIAL SALE e Of «- Gas Ranges Only 3 Days More To Get Your VULCAN SMOOTHTOP COMPACT CABINET GAS RANGES ' On Our Special Sale Terms 80 West Main Street Phone 381 “SAGE, ALLEN & CO. 3-1090 (INC.) 3-1090 : Hartford Conn.
