GAVE PLAY FOR SUFFRAGIST CAUSE| One Act Farce, How The Vote Was Won, Produced by Qopneeticut Players in Y. M. C. A. Hall—Storm Pre- vented Outdoor Performance Planned—Mrs. Donald R. Hooker of Baltimore Spoke on Relation of Woman’s Suffrage to the Home m—— Under the auspices of the Norwich Equal Franchise league, the one act farce Hew the Vote Was Won, was given on Friday evening in Y. M. C. . hall, preceded by an address along equal suffrage lines by Mrs. Donald R. Hooker of Baltimore, president of the Just Government club of that city. It had been intended to make the play an out-of-doors production, giv- ing it at the home of Mrs. Willis Aus~ on Washington et, but the ary to transfer the programmie to the hall. Mrs. William A. Norton Presided. At the opening of the programme, Mrs. William A. Norton, president of the Norwich league, introduced those who gave addresses before the play was given. Mre. George Day of Hartford spoke briefly, saying: “We may treat the subject of woman's suffrage merril; but the play will carry its lesson.” | She told in closing an incident which showed woman's share in the world's work, Just Government Club President. Mrs. Donald R. Hooker, president of he Just Government club of Balti- more, took for the subject of her ad- dress, The Relation of Woman’s Suf-'| tfrage to the Home. | Justice and government are at the root'of all suffrage problems, she be- gan. Voting is the emblem of free- dom and the means of holding on to 1t | ‘Women must be free women. They | hawe the speciai duties of a mother. | Man attends to the pure food laws. He cannot insist upon their enforce- ment unless he has the housekeepers back of him. People say we don't know about government so we women can't vote. You may not be able to make good bread, but you know when bread is good. M women are good and ‘votes are | good, why not put them together? We | do mot wish for men's work, but to | | follow ouf children, wherever they go. We must insure good milk, good echools and decent surroundings in our eities. Men do their work through fran- chise. Through franchise we can do | our work better. One hundred twenty- five years ago we didn’t need the vote we could control.our cows, spin our flax for clothes; now government pon- trols everything—the water, the ‘dust in_the street. We women must follow our work wherever it takes us. We are our brothers’ keepers. The only way in which we can help the laborers in sweatshops is through the government. The ballot is the only end of the lever of which we can take hold. Don't you see now that there is a reason back of all this—there is the bitter need of children who labor. We must pay the price to help them, but the suffragists are willing to pay that price. Questions and Answers. Questions and answers followed this address, which was given an enthus- jastic recgption by the interested au- dience. How the Vote Was Won. This_was followed by the one act farce, How the Voie Was Won, given by the Connecticut Players, to a most interested audience. This is an Eng- lish farce, the only one of its kind now being given in this state. It is one in which Forbes Robertson starred in Haymarket theatre, London, and had a long and extremely successful run. Mrs. Hepburn of Hartford thought of using it for the suffrage movement and while very amusing, it teaches the les- son desired. Charles Hill, the actor, has helped this cast in its work. It has been so successfully given that an offer has come from a theatre man- ager to produce the play, sharing the profits. The Cast.

From Port Aux Basques the party set sail in a motor boat secured for the expedition and proceeded along the coast to Flower cove, whence they saileg across the Straits of Belle Isle fo Salmon bay, Labrador, where they made a landing and then sailed up the Esquimo river for many miiles until t arrived at | a tract of timber containing an area of 1,000 square miles, the inspection of which was one of the chief cbjects of the expedition.

On July 4, Mr. Sweeney was at Bradore, on the Labrador coast. In respect to his nationality, he being the only Amerfcan present, the customs officer not only holsted the British flag but on another flag pole beside he flung the Stars and Stripes to the breeze. Mr. Sweeney said that if there was ever a time when he was home- sick for Connecticut, it was at that moment when Old Glory fluttered in a breeze mildly suggestive of the north pole. The thermometer on that day was 40 above zero, which is fairly cold for midsummer. The warmest day of the expedition was encountered at Battle Harbor on July 17, when the thermometer regis: tered 64 degrees. 'On that day Mr. Sweeney counted 168 separate icebergs Off the coast, not to mention numer- ous small cakes of ice floatingdown from the morth. A couple of days later the fishermen at Bradore were caught napping by an icefield, which traps were set. The result was that about three-quarters of the appar- atus was destroyed in the ice which Ing everything beneath it. bane of existence in thls northern region. The members of the exploring party kept their hands and faces en- veloped in netting and aleo bathed themselves in pennyroyal, but even then they were not proof against the onslaughts of the pests and for six days Mr. Sweeney's face was swollen beyond recognition. - A feature of the expedition to which Mr. Sweeney is willlng to make affidavit is the catch- ing by the party in ome day of 199 salmon in the Esquimo river. A detaled log of the explorations was kept and will be turned over to the New York capitalists, who financed it, together with Mr. Sweeney’s expert Teport on the timber area and other data.
