National Chairman Urges
Women to Register
A very modern type of reformer 1e Mrs.
Ann Wtbatcr, chairmen of the committee
nn aociaJ h)glene of the National League
L»f Women Voters. It used to be eeid of
her In New Mexico, where her home for
il years woa a 70.000-acre ranch, that no
horse could unseat her and no dog de
ceive her as to his pedigree, and her love
of an outdoor life la doubtless the reason
why she puts such emphasis on recrea
tion as a factor In community physical
and moral health.
Mrs. Webster was born In Chicago and
was educated there and 1n Europe, taking
the full course at the New York School
r>f Social Work after the cry for women
lo come and help during t^e war drew
her away from New Mexico. She was a
league delegate to the recent congress
r»f the International Suffrage alliance 1n
Rome and went with Mrs. Maud Wood
Park later on a woman-to-woman visit
lo eastern Europe.—Editorial Note.
By ANN WEBSTER.
If It were to be announced that on
a certain day the people of a town
would be asked to vote on the ques
tion of whether a dollar ahall buy a
dollar's worth of food or only 60
cents’ worth, th£re would not be a
woman In that town who would not
be up bright and early on election
day, getting every voting member of
her family ready to go down and
vote for the dollar worth 100 cents.
She would be doing this because no
sane person wants a dollar made to
buy only 60 cents worth, and because
the question at Issue was plainly put.
Questions are never put so plainly
os that, however, and plenty of peo
ple stay at home on election day. In
some places more than half the voters
stayed home and allowed the less
than half who did vote decide what
their dollars should be worth. They
stayed at home because they had
never been In the habit of thinking
much about politics—certainly not of
politics as affecting the family in
conje. As a matter of fact, the fam
ily income depends to a very large
degree on politics. A dollar Is not
worth a dollar if a large part of it
has to be paid one way or another
for taxes. A dollar Is not worth a
doallr If things that used to cost a
dollar cost a dollar and a half now.
Because politics does affect the
family Income and the children’s
schools and all the rest of the family’s
affairs, the National League of Wo
men Voters Is asking every woman
in the country to register and vote
this year and to know what she Is
voting for. The league does not tell
any woman what party or what candi
date to support, but It does beseech
her to do her duty as a citizen ^nd
vote the way she thinks wisest.
We are fond of talking about
democracy, but this country Is not a
real democracy, and It never will be
so long as more than half the voters
stay away from the polls, as they
uld In 1920. It Is an oligarchy ruled
by less than half the voters. In many
towns and cities a few politicians
can select any men they choose for
office and run the town as extravar
gantly as they please, because they
can count on only part of the voters
c4Cts. u/intc Weis ter
coming out to vote. The rest will
complain because schools are bad or
taxes high, or roads bad, but they
will take it out in complaining, the
politicians think.
Will they take it out In complain
ing this year? That Is the question
the National League of Women
Voters is asking every woman In the
country. Are you going to let a
small vote be cast? Are you going
to play Into the hands of certain
factions which can do as they like
because only 49 per cent of the men
and women of the country vote?
These are other questions the league
is asking.
The League of Women Voters is
organized everywhere for the pur
pose of giving women information
about candidates and questions to be
voted on. It collects Information and
publishes it, urging every woman to
think things over and then vote so
that the country may be what It
was meant to be, a real democracy.
After all, it Is no very great task
to register and vote and the Amerb
can woman has never found It hard
to think things over. The only diffi
culty with her is that she has never
thought about politics as being im
portant nor of voting as a duty.
When she does think of these things,
she will see to it that all the voters
of her family vote.
We think of a citizen's duty as a
willingness to die for his country in
time of war. We do not see, all of
us, that to vote is equally a duty, for
by the conscientious and intelligent
voting of all good citizens alone can
the country he well and justly and
economically governed for the benefit
not of the minority, but for the good
of the whole people.,

“My Husband’s Love” \
Tlie Startled Query that Nearly
Ksoaped Madge.
Mrs. Bird's youthful driver lost no
time In obeying Lillian’s instruction
to “beat it to Flushing." With a wary
eye for traffic officers he drove the
car at a rattling pace through Brook
lyn to Jamaica, and thence along the
picturesque country road which con
nects that bustling borough with
Flushing.
X did not apeak to him until we
were well out of the traffic, and then
vaguely sensing that the boy, for he
was little more, was so brimful of his
experiences that he needed the relief
of telling them, I broke the silence
with a tentative:
“I see that you have your own car
back again."
He hitched around in his seat ab
ruptly, so that he could watch the
road and talk at the same time.
“You bet!” he, said happily. “It
didn't take long after I met you for
me to get my friend on the telephone.
He changed the license plates on my
car for a pair he snaked off another
in the shop, and then with mine
along, too, he beat it down to th# Man
hattan Bridge—the Queensboro was
toe near where that bird lamped me
to wapt to travel that way today.
We met In a garage we both know
r.ot very far from the Manhattan
Bridge, changed for my own license
plates again, and then I beat it over
here, while he loafed uptown again."
“You didn't see anything, then, of
the man you"—I started to say
“feared,” but changed It abruptly to
“encountered."
"Neither hide nor hair,’* he re
turned, unconsciously relapsing Into
the vernacular of his unmistakable
country childhood. “X suppose he's
still cruising around the corner of
, H 1
Flftj eighth and 1 ,«xlngUm or watch
ing the Queensboro Bridge. Wall, he H
wait quite a while for this rabbit to
allrk hi* head Into the trap! And I've
liaaeed the word to some chaps that'll
take care of him proper."
I shivered Involuntarily, for there
was something vaguely sinister In the
boys manner, and although I waa
sure that there was full justification
for anything he might have planned
for the "taking care" of the escaped
criminal who was revengefully track
ing him, yet I could not help wishing
my Journey in his enforced compan
ionship was over.
We came into Flushing, of course,
upon another route than the one I
had traveled, and in the outskirts of
the borough the lad, with a quick
look behind him, swerved his car sud
denly into the open door of a garage.
"There's a bolt loose on this steer
ing gear, Mac,” he announced loudly
as a short rusty-haired man stubbed
up to us. "Can you fix it, quick? I rn
in an awful hurry.”
The man bent his head over the
steering gear, and I heard a mur
mured interchange of quick questions
and answers whoso purports I could
not catch until the last one from the
lips of my driver—"Anybody here?”
"Only me,” the short man replied.
"Then, Missis”—my driver turned
to me—"please pull those curtains
down on both sides back there and
mo\% over In the corner back of me.
I’ll attend to these.”
To my great disgust I found my
fingers trembling as I released the
spring In the curtains, for both men
were visibly tense and excited, and
I wondered what might not have gone
wrong at Mrs. Bird’s house. I made
no attempt to find out, however, and
the next minute we were off again,
the Interior of the car securely shield
ed from any observation, although
from my position behind the driver
I was able to see where we were
going.
It was not long before we came to
the side road which led toward the
bay, and from which the driver turned
to the ash-strewn alley at the rear
of the row of ample old homesteads
of which Mrs. Bird's house was one.
The alley was as deserted as we had
left it save for a costly high-powered
car drawn up at one side near the
entrance,1 its nose turned toward the
boulevard street.
The driver shot a sharp glance at
it, then chuckled audibly.
“Whoever owns that isn’t going to
take any chances.” he said. “If any
body comes out from our house over
this route tonight, that lad is ready
to follow 'em to the hot place and
back again. There's another one,
I'll bet, loitering around the boule
vard in the front of the house.
I closed my lips tightly, for I did
not wish the frantic query on my
lips to escape. With all exits from
the house quarded in this way, how
were we going to spirit the Harrison
children off to the steamship on
which Alfred Hurkee had engaged
their passage?

Science again has scored a tri
umph in the disoovery of • very
remarkable liquid known as Kolor
Bak. If you are gray, just apply
this liquid to the hair and scalp
and your hair will soon take on the
actual color ithad in the past. Not
a trace of gray ness will remain.
Kolor-Bak comes in the form of
a clean, colorless liquid, con
taining properties which quickly
restore the lost color to the hair
and give it renewed vigor. And
note that the one preparation is
for all colors of hair. No special
solution required for each color
no samples of hair required.
You will find also that with
Kolor-Bak the hair has the aama
shade throughout It does not
appear streaked, faded or “dyed. ”
Every scientist, every physician,
knows that gray hair is hair that
has ceased to receive its normal
supply of coloring matter or pig
ment from certain tiny cells
(called follicles or papillae) in the
scalp, because these cells have
become inactive from illness,
shock of some kind, scalp disease,
dandruff, infection, neglert of the i
hair or lack of circulation, etc.
But no matter what the cause of
the grayneas, it is Bimply amazing
to see how it disappears when
Kolor-Bak is used. It is a proved
substitute for the natural pig
mentation. %
