-"SUFFRAGE PROSPECT GROWS BRIGHTER AS SESSIONS CONVENE WASHINGTON. March 8 National suffrage leaders here, encouraged over the action of Governor Townsend of Deawere, In caJing the legislature in special session for March 22 to consider the Susan B. Anthony suffrage amendment, made plans today for a final drive this week in West Virginia.
The lower branch of that legislature has already favorably acted on the amendment, but the West Virginia senate is a tie and on the vote of one man depends tho fate of the amendment. This man is Senator Jesse Block of Charleston. Senator Block, who ha3 been on the Pacific coast for his health, is en route home and is expected to reach the West Virginia capital tomorrow to take part in the balloting. He is claimed by the suffrage forces and leaders of the movement today predict that his vote will bring about ratification. Opponents of the amendment, however, claim to have a surprise In store and predict that even with Senator Block supporting the amendment it can not be ratified, as there will be last-minute changes to effect the result. Delaware Looks Safe Suffrage leaders are confident of the result in Delaware and say they have a substantial majority in both branches of the legislature for the Anthony amendment. Governor Townsend and the Republican leaders are favorable to ratification of the amendment and with the support of the national Republican leaders there seera3 to be no question of the outcome in that state. Thirty-three state legislatures have now voted for ratification and with West Virginia and Delaware in the last but one more victory will be required to record the necessary 3G stated. The governor of Washington has called the legislature of that state in session for March 22 and reports indicate a victory for the suffrage cause. The only hitch, then, as suffrage leaders see it, is in the Ohio referendum case pending in the supreme court of the United States. The case is fo be argued some time this month :md the women hope for an early and favorable decision. The Ohio legislature having ratified the amendment the question at

" J
HOUSE COMMITTEE SAYS LEGION MADE MISTAKE ON BONUS
AMBASSADOR FROM BRAZIL ARRIVES TO ASSUME DUTIES
THERE seems to be an absolute craze for overblouses which shows no signs of abatement. Every taste may be suited for the styles run the gamut from the plain little frock of cotton or silken material for morning wear to the glorified creation of tinsel embroidered sheer stuff suitable for the most elaborate afternoon function. A
number of white tricolette separate overblouses are appearing in the role of sweaters, and the Tuxedo models, that have so successfully held their own, are seen in the knitted fiber silk or dropstitch tricolette with filet collar, cuffs and pockets. The smock-like overblouse is perhaps one of the most popular models for summer wear. These have been
worn with so much approval and favor at the southern resorts that they bid fait to hold their popularity throughout the summer months. Here are three of the most attractive models shown in a spring display. The one at the left is white washable satin. The one in the center is a soft cotton crepe, while that at the left is the ever-popular georgette.

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, March 8. A serious mistake was made by the American Legion In presenting its proposals for soldier relief in the form In which it did, the house ways and means committee was told today by Colonel M. Lester Jones, a member of the legion's executive committee. He said the executive committee would assemble this month and that he proposed to suggest that it formulate "a definite and sane policy" for presentation to congress in a "quiet and respectful way." Colonel Jones said he believed the legion also should present a well considered scheme for financing any plan it proposed.
Discussing the farm settlement pro-1 posal the witness said that in making j an estimate some months ago he had ;
found that about 350,000 former soldiers desired an opportunity to take over farms. While he approved in principle a land settlement scheme. Colonel Jones said it should not be confined to vacant public lands or remote cut-over lands, in the south and west, but that vacant lands in the vicinity of the citities should be condemned and purchased for soldier use. Committee Still Squabbling. Before Colonel Jones appeared the committee indulged in a squabble over the introduction into the record of a mass of letters, resolutions, petitions and other papers dealing with the subject of soldier relief. A suggestion by Representative Longworth, Republican, Ohio, finally led to the appointment of a sub-committee to act as a hopper to receive this correspondence, digest it and put in the record only what would be of value to congress in working out legislation. On the heels of this decision Chair
man Fordney insisted over many objections on leading a letter from Baltimore signed "Doughboys," and protesting against the recent, statement to the committee by Captain
Walter Burns that ex-soldiers did not i
desire a cash bonus or to further embarrass the treasury. "If we hadn't gone overseas," the letter said, "the United States treasury there is so much hollering about being busted, would be busted right paying indemnity to the Germans."

A "digging out" holldaj was proclaimed in several cities and scores of Industries diverted the en. ergies of their employes to welldinf of picks and shovels over railroad tie The situation In Maine.

At Richmond, also on the mail line of the Maine Central railroad, 20 others, including Commander Evango line Booth, of the Salvation Arms found refuge.

Dear me! It would be much cheaper for most of us to migrate to Dahomey, than to keep on buying our clothes by the carat! The disappointing thing about teaching a girl the art of love-making is that she so quickly out-strips the average man's kindergarten knowledge and can give him a higher education on the subject. A man is never really old, until he has lost his last desire for the food
that makes him dyspeptic, the pleasures that make him poor, and the women who make a fool of him. Just like the vanity of a woman, to marry a man to reform him as though any man who has had tho energy and Initiative to make a "past" for himself, is going to stand meekly back and let a woman carve out his future for him!

Consternation reigned in the state Department when the messenger came in and an urgent cable was sent back, in code, which read: "No, no, no," or words to that effect. Finally the State Department received a message, which was not in code. It read: "Archie on the skids." And joy reigned in the department, where it was realized that, despite the fact that the cable was not coded, it was a mystery to any one save an American.
Just like the conceit of men to call a woman's vanity case, her "vamping utensils" when as every girl knows, it's nothing but an innocent little "repair kit!" The day of the sentimental lovesong and the dreamy waltz may have passed but it's hard on romance to 'hink that today's daughters will grow up to regard a cow-bell as a musical instrument and a wiggle as a "dance." Most girls seem to think that a platinum wedding-ring makes a happy marriage; purple paint, a good motorcar: temperament, a genius, and capriciousness, a belle.

The announcement said this uniqu" company Is made up of Mexicans ami Americans on the border, this statement being based on reports from various consular officers.

Woman's Assertiveness Is Menace, Say Cardinal O'Donnell; To Be Checked BOSTON, March 8 Growing weakness on the part of the men of the country Is developing a sinister feminism, Cardinal O'Connell told a gathering of men at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross last night. Man :t the head of the house, he said, f 'I. 1 d assert his proper authority in Thome. Failure to do this, the cardinal asserted, leads to a false feminism, which unless it is curbed in lime, will have disastrous results for humanity. "The women are becoming masculine, if you please, and the men are bee ing effeminate. This is disorder." Cardinal O'Connell questioned how a father could "look on and see his children, especially the girls, running rampant without any consideration for modesty." Headship of the larnu . he said, meant that the father shou'd look after the morals of the wh.ih family. The evil of extravagant expenditure which, he predicted, would cause a financial reaction in America to some degree similar to that which has caused Europe's virtual bankrv.p;cy, was criticised. The cardinal argued also against what he said was a continual clamor for . more pay by workingmen, and advised that they be. on their guard against a spirit working underhanded for perpetual striken with the purpose of destroying organization aDd industry-
