The measure Is still e, but with no hope t Wilson sent to the „ s .1 H the Speaker of the hou/*e the most urgent appeals for ratification, declaring that it was "based upon the highest consideration both of justice and expediency." Homer 8. Cummings, chairman of the Democratic national committee, added to these letters one to the president of the senate expressing the nope that "every possible effort would be made to secure prompt ratification." and saying: "Quite apart from any question of essential titles, it is highly essential from a party standpoint that ohr friends should be in harmony with the national party on this subject." It is entirely useless, however, to argue with the rank and file of Georgia or Alabama men In favor of woman suffrage. Tha Coming of Viaeount Gray. To forget home affairs for a while and look across the sea. It is interesting to note In connection with the coming of Viscount Grey as temporary ambassador from Great Britain to the United States that the "militant" suffrage movement there began with one of his speeches. It was outside of Uondon, possibly at Leeds, in a big town hall In 1208 that Chrtatabel Pankhurst and Annie Kenney, young girls, following the time-honored custom of "heckTlng" speakers, called out In the midst of it: "What are you going to do about vote# for women?" They did not say another word, but in an instant they were dragged from their chairs and down the aisle by the ushers, struck srul kicked by every man who could reach them, thrown down the steps and taken to a police station for the night. They were also subjected to Indignities which can not be published. Their clothes wsre so torn that they could not appear before the justice the next morning until others were provided. Not one of a number of men on the platform tried to stop the disorder and none of the many police present offered to protect them. I had a full account of It from Miss Pankhurst herself shortly afterwards. Sir Edward Grey always supported the movement for woman suffrage. H SUGAR MEN FACE PROFimG CHARGE OFFICERS OF CAMPBELL CO.

On Wednesday afternoon a voluntary committee of thirty Marion county war mothers entertained the convalescent soldiers at the Red Cross
hostess house
looking into the question of duties that will devolve on them in case of visits of royalty to this country in the nature of return calls on the President and
O-ft.; c'uiwm” doeV cording secretary, Cleveland, O.; Mrs. that t |, a w jf e D f the President shall
return official calls at all, her calling list being limited to intimate and personal friends, exception being made in the case of visiting royalty and then she makes the first call. Some anxiety is expressed as to what the attitdde of the wife of the Vice-President and the women of the cabinet circle should be in this respect, but it is understood that they must also call on royal personages who may visit this country.
Order of Precedence. In the matter of precedence, the wife of the Vice-President is next to the wife of the President, and after h?r In order come the wife of the secretary of state, the wives of ambassadors, envoys and ministers, the wives of the secretaries of the treasury, war, attor-ney-general, postmaster-general, navy, Interior, agriculture, commerce and
labor.
If the usual program of official social functions Is carried oat at the White House (this schedule was somewhat changed after the European war broke out and before we entered the struggle), the President and Mrs. Wilson will make public along about the last of Deeember or the first of January the dates of four dinners and the same number of receptions. These are made known as early as possible, as all other “off!-
S5S,' co "' eld * The newcomers to Washington are learning that the wife of the President usually holds her first afternoon reception on the last Saturday in Januarv from 8 to 5 o’clock. This Is a general reception and the proper time for a newcomer to make her first call on the first of the land. One call each year is all that is expected. * The first official function given at the home of the secretary of state Is a breakfast to -the diplomatic corps on New Year’s-day. Invitations are confined exclusively to the members of the corps and their families and to the ass slant secretaries of state, the chief clerk and chiefs of bureaus of the department of state and their respective wives. The next official function of the wife of the secretary of state is a dinner in honor of the President and his wife, to‘which all the members of the cabinet and their wives are invited. The secretary of state and his wife also hold a general reception on New Year’s day, as do other members of the cabinet and their wives, tor which the wives of assistant secretaries of the respective departments are asked to assist. Other Important Fzctz. The date of the dinner given by the secretary of state and his wife in honor of the President is always subsequent to that fixed for the first official dinner at the White House, which is given to members of the cabinet and their wives. Then follows a series of dinners to the diplomatic corps. The dinners given by the other cabinet women are set for dates subsequent to that of the first dinner qf the wife of the secretary of state, and In each cap* the first dinner is given in honor of the President and his wife. Other Important facts not to bl forgotten by the successful Washliyrton hostess are that invitations to official dinners are issued two weeks in advance of the evening fixed on for the function, invitations to social dinners are Issued one week in advance, and acceptances or declinations should be mads, if possible, on the day the Invitations are received and so on.
OPINIONS ARE SOUGHT ON THE NEW CLUBHOUSE FEATURES
Questionnaires have been sent to the members of the finance committee of the Woman’s Department Club by Mrs. Susan E. H. Perkins, president of the club, asking for expressions of opinion from the committee oil some of the features planned for the new clubhouse. A campaign for a building fund now is being made. „ During her tour of the east, Mrs. Perkins Is making a study of similar club buildings in the larger eastern cities and the questionnaire is the result of some of the observations she had made. Many details of construction enter into the new building, which, under the preliminary plans received only cursory study. One of the questions before the committee is whether the club should

Much relief work Is being done by the different members of the Marion county unit, and soldiers and their families are constantly seeking and obtaining aid from the American War Mothers. The next regular meeting of the Marion county unit will be held in the auditorium of the public library, Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
LOOK TO CANNING OF CORN Indiana Packer*’ Work to Be Under State-Wide Inspection. Indiana canners plan to give careful attention this season to packing sweet corn, work on which will be in full rush soon. Dr. John P. Street, formerly of New Haven, Conn., has opened an office in Indianapolis and will head the inspection work for the Indiana branch of the National Canners’ Association. H. E.

a lunchroom. The club has a large membership among the business women of the city, and is seeking now to increase this membership, and many feel that some plans should be provided by which these women and others might have a place to take luncheon at noon.
Other Features.
Other features Mrs. Perkins asks opinions on are plans for entertaining parties and receptions, and whether these should be held in separate rooms provided for this purpose alone. She asks if a danceroom might also suffice for the supper room and the gymna-
sium.
She also asks whether It will be necessary to have large offices and a janitor room In the building. Other questions are: “Shall we have a curator's
room in the building? How large should a rom be for report meetings? Must we have committee rooms? Shall we have a reading room? Shall we have a social room? Shall we plan for a large auditorium, and if so, what capacity?” At the bottom of the questionnaire Mrs. Perkins says: "Remember, if we have even a few of these, we must have several janitors and a superintendent. If we undertake too large an enterprise, will we not lose the club spirit as well as many members? We were organized for service, and higher dues will mean we can not reach many women who need this help. Those things which cost the most often are the most material. I am told that a swimming pool is enormously expensive In comparison with Its clientele. Should we not feed the intellect, which is starved, Instead of catering to the growing tendency for luxury? Can we afford to change the standard we have set. which is 'Opportunity for the many”? To Please Majority. She says the suggestions and hints are
lust some of the few that have come to her since she has been making a study of the situation In other clues. Mrs.
Pearson Mendenhall, treasurer of the organization and also a member of the finance committee, said that opinions from all members of the club were being sought, it being the intention of the club to make every effort to please the majority of the women. Many of the features asked about by the president, she said, would depend largely on the financial campaign, which is being made now for a -fund of $250,000 to be
used for the new clubhouse.
In case the entire amount is raised, the club will be able to embody feature# which with a smaller building would be impossible. The number of members obtained during the present campaign will determine to some extent
the elaborateness of the building.
