Congratulations
The most impressive, and prob
ably the most representative gather
ing of suffragists ever held is that
which gathered in Chicago to cele
brate the ratification of the suffrage
amendment. More than 2,000 dele
gates were in attendance, and the
following resolution, introduced by
. Mrs. Robert K. Edwards of Indiana,
was passed unanimously:
) Whereas, the leader of the little
group of women known as the anti
suffragists who for a decade have
helped to defeat woman suffrage by
discrediting all who advocated it
,r now directing their familiar
slanders to, Mr. Will II Hays, chair
man of the republican national com
mittee, because they say he has in
fluenced ratification in several states
by appealing to the younger element
in the republican party for the sup
port of suffrage.
Be It Jiesolved: That the Na
tional American Woman Suffrage
association with 2,500,000 organized
women congratulates the republican
party upon having a chairman who
is astute enough to recognize the
certain trend of .public affairs and
to attempt to lead his party In step
with the inevitable march of human
progress.
We extend to Mr. Hays our sin
cere gratitude for any and all help
Jie may have rendered on behalf of
ratification and assure him that our
members being progressive women
Jiope to align themselves with the
"younger element'1 of the parties-of
their choice, whichever party that
may be.
A Message From Hays.
k 'The suffrage amendment has
passed," wrote Will H. Hays, re
publican national chairman, in a
'message of greeting to the conven
tion,, ' The rapidity with which this
was done by tl-e republican mpior
ity ai.d the overwhelming repuLli-1
can majority vote speak tor tliem
selves. The republican women,
coming more and more into the
rights of their full citizenship,' are
most important factors in the situ
ation. The only just rule for
political party is that the rights of
participation in the management of
tf) party's affairs must be and re
sinain equally . sacred and . sacredly
' equal. Tha republican women in
the country constitute one-half ot
rlie party's membership. In the
presidential campaign of 1920 it .is
my very earnest hope and well
founded judgment that it shall be so
everywhere. The republican women
come into the party activity not as
women but as voters entitled to1 par
ticpate, and participating just as
other voters."
Mr. Hays declared the wometi
voters could be trusted to support
the things for wheh the republican
Jierty standi, including compulsory
education, an eight hour day for
women, prohibition of chid laboir.
humanixation of industry, a national
budget system , and the . eradication
of radical socialism and unrest.

things we wish without petitioning
tnem: it we are still to be petition
ers, what was the idea of getting the
vote? More and more the- parties
are becoming" the powers in this
country. "I don't know whether it is
wis and right, but it is the trend
of the present political parties. In
stead of appealing to them, it is bet
ter to get on the inside and get the
tilings you desire.
"As I read the signs, there is to
be a continuation of the old familiar
strife. For the last 60 years - we
have been trying to convince the
men of the ability of women. You've

each can return to her own party In
her own state and vote.

only one man in 25 who is bisr

work in an organization of this kind

suffragists for the last 30 years,
more than any other body of wam

pinciples of the constitution and the
things for which. -this government
stands.' If vou are coiner to be five

nee lies behind 'the woman suffrage
movement: before us unrolls a fu
ture big with possibility' and promise
as the women of the nation begin to
use their new political liberty. .
' Until they had a voice in the man
agement of their government few
women were partisan. Now, with
the big problems of -the nation to be
soived, they must choose a political
party in order that their influence
and voice may count. It is inevita
ble that this cannot be accomplished
as a woman s entitv: there is too
great difference of opinion regard
ing what is to be done and how k. is
to" be accomplished. So, that they

crisis in the country, women should
waste no time and effort, but choose
one of the existing organizations
and through its machinery make her
influence felt and her voice, .count. .

The old rag doll still retains its
supreme seat in the realm of child
fa.icy, despite the invasion of air
planes that fly, bisque' dolls that
walk, talk and roll their eyes; wire less
sets that wire and automobiles
that auto, according to Homer
Stephens,- president of the American
Toy. Exhibitors, Inc.; under whose
auspices 600 American toy manu
facturers arc exhibiting their wares
litre.
"Although we have every form of
toy imaginable which can and does
please the heart of the child, there
is nothing I ke the old rag doll,"
Mr. Stephens said. "There were
more rag do'ls manufactured and
sold last year than ever before, and
I understand the ' demand has in
creased this year.
"All toy manufacturers have in
ventors. who turn out new articles
cveiy year. This year's innovation
is the popular priced toy phono
graph, which plays any record and
costs but a few dollars, Toys this
year have been made especially .to
promote what might be called ju
venile engineering.'
"They are built for the purpose of
insiilling the constructive spirit m
the child, and we have found a
market for those things even among
t'ne grown-ups.
"But the American child still de
mands her rag dell."
To Protect Women's Citizenship.
It is high time to get away from
the old idea that the wife is the
chattel of the husband, Representa
tive Rogers, republican, of Massa
chusetts, told the house immigra
tion committee, in urging enactment
of a law under which American
women, marrying aliens and remain
ing in this country, would retain
their citizenship after adoption of
the suffrage amendment.
Mr. Rogers declared his measure
did not protect wealthy "American
title hunters," adding that he was
not interested in extending the right
of citizenship "to women who think
so little of it that they go abroad to
live."
' In pointing out that his measure
would not give the right of citizen
ship to an alien woman marrying an
American, Mr. Rogers said this was
done so that to be naturalized "a
woman would have to go through
the same machinery with the man."
Mrs, Maude Wood Park, president
of the National League of Women
Voters, indorsed the Rogers bill.
American Legion Auxiliary..
Muskogee (Okl.) women have or
ganized what they claim is the first
woman's auxiliary to the American
Legion, Twenty mothers, wives,
sisters and daughter of former serv
ice men comprise the charter roll of
the organisation. "
Women's Industry Bureau.
'A joint committee , of the senate
and house held a hearing on March
3 on the matter of establishing a
permanent women in industry bu
reau. Women's organizations are
much interested in the establish
ment of this bureau and many re
publican legislators favor it.

which is the result makes the skin plump and vigorous, almost
baby-like, and causes even deep wrinkles to disappear in quick Urn.
This is because the pores are made smaller and the texture or tne
skin highly refined, and as a result hundreds of wrinkles are bound
to leave. Tour friends will wonder at the change in your appear
ance. The eptol. sells for about fifty cents and you probably already
have enough glycerine.
