CROWD HEARS WOMEN TALK AT ECONOMY

' Woman's natural part in the house keeping side of government was the basis of the speech made by Mrs. W. O. Lewis at the Suffrage meeting held In Economy, Saturday night. The meeting was one of the most successful which has been held this fall. About 180 people, men and women, attended. "It Is natural," said Mrs. Lewis, that woman should look after the part of government which has to do with children. She is best suited to look after sanitary conditions and to govern the schools. Woman has been mistreated inasmuch as these natural rights have been withheld from her. Women Held Back. "By reason that she is not given the right to vote, woman is placed on the same plane with criminals and minors. This is unfair. "Negroes were given the rights of franchise, but still woman was held back. Immigrants after they have been in this country for one year and have merely signified their intentions of becoming citizens are given the right to vote. They often cannot understand clearly the language r.nd can read only a few words. They know nothing of the principles of our government. They own no property. Yet woman, whose intelligence is on the par with the best educated men is declined the right to help govern the affairs of government in which she is much interested.". In answering the common plea that woman's place is In the borne, Mrs. Lewis said: "Times have changed. Woman's duties have enlarged as the work in her Some has decreased. Women used to nake everything that the family ate ind wore. Now she purchases most )f these articles already made. Consequently she has time to educate hericlf. FORMAL ACTION NOT YET TAKEN BY ST.

He said that he had not informed the congregation at Dayton of his decision as to the call, and would not until after the con gregaticnal meeting here. Members of the congregation predicted today that an almost unanimous vote would be cast at the meeting against the acceptance of the call by the Rev. Mr. Feeger.

FEAR OF POLIO PREVENTS SHOW OF PRIZE BABES

Because of the infantile paralysis plague which has swept over the country, the committee on 'the Richmond Perfect Baby contest has decided to hold no large public demonstration when the prizes are awarded as had first been planned. Although there are no cases of the disease In Richmond, it was decided that all precautions should be taken. During the examinations which were conducted at the Social Service bureau rooms last week all precautions against the spread of diseases were taken. Only a few babies were present at any time and no baby came in contact with anything that any other baby had touched. Committee Start Work. A committee of three this afternoon started averaging the score cards. Because of the many children whose scores are almost the same, it is expected that it will be necessary to make many re-examinations. These will be conducted with the same precautions that were used in the first examinations. The committee hopes to be able to announce the winners by the end of this week. Orders will be given by the committee to the winners upon merchants who have offered prizes. The mothers will present the orders to the merchants and receive the merchandise. During the entire contest, only six babies out of the total 173 registered failed to show up for examination. Three babies who had not been registered were examined. This makes a total of 170 score cards from which the winners must be picked. The two pairs of twins which were examined are sure to win prizes. The committee agrees that it will be a difficult proposition to judge which pair is the most perfect as all four of the babies are well developed. munithaFng not held reason for prosperity Activities in Richmond reflect the degree of prosperity in other parts of United States, according to John M. Lontz of the F. and N. Lawn Mower company, who has returned from a trip east through Detroit and Buffalo. It is the greatest industrial period the country ever has known, Mr. Lontz said. "Business has increased everywhere in such remarkable . gains as. L have never seen before," Mrl Lbriiz said? "The markets o Germany, Belgium and some other countries have been closed in -some cases, and liave dropped off heavily in England and France, but industry has made up the loss and has added a gain. War munition contracts have little to do with it. "Prices are higher now than they ever have been. No doubt there will be a recession of prices some time. Whether it will close or not, cannot be said and when prices drop away, it will be up to the manufacturers to watch that they do not lose. Prosperity comes in waves and we are on a big wave now."
