September 1, 1917 Suffrage Snapshots By IDA HUSTED HARPER has asked all clergymen to appeal to the women of their churches to economize in what goes on the tables. The clergymen will appeal, but oh, you chicken! 2 Nive sie Food Commissioner Hoover ‘OW the women are told they can save the country a million dollars a year in material if they will reduce the length of their stockings. What’s the matter with the men saving it a great deal more by reducing the length of their trousers? ¢ pee members of Congress a few days ago called each other “liar” and “bummer.” Every committee in Washing- ton is in a wrangle; ditto every committee in every other city. And yet the suffragists are admonished that they must compose their differences and abide in perfect harmony if they wish the men to consider their claims! Funny nobody seems to recognize that women are human, but possibly this is due to the habit of calling them angels. 2 TO BE a Chippewa Indian squaw! Men of the Minnesota tribe in council have given them the suffrage. The white men in the Legislature there refused last spring it to their women. # por little born Emperor Pu Yi! Twice he was seated on a throne and twice taken off, and if he gets a chance to stick he will be obliged to marry twice and raise two families. Misfortunes don’t seem to come singly to Pu Yi. HE National Association of Clothing Designers has advised that to save woolen cloth men’s clothes shall be made without pockets. Thus more and more men* and women are reaching a plane of equality. Now we shall see every man going around carrying a hand-bag to hold his belongings. But won’t the bag cost as much as the pockets? ¢ TH opponents say that only childless women want the ballot. The Birming- ham (Ala.) Age-Herald has been investi- gating in that city and found that the sixteen suffrage officials and most promi- nent workers are the mothers of forty- eight children. This argument (?) was old when Susan B. Anthony was young, and she took an ventory of sixteen of socia finding that they had children, and they didn’t get the bit more than do the women of Alabama 2 LINOR GLYN says that she used to be an “anti” but now she is a suffragist. That is one characteristic of the suffrage movement, nobody can be kept out of it. Our troops are now on the firing line in France. While at home every instrumentality of our government and private industry is being urged | at top speed to insure victory. The | telephone is in universal demand as courier, bringing to the front men and the materials of war. From the farms the telephone courier brings foodstuffs; from the mines the telephone courier calls forth metals; from the factories this courier gathers manufactured products. The telephone courier leads troop and | supply trains to the front; summons fighting flotillas and transports; and, One Policy Courier of Soldier and Civilian AMERICAN TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY AND ASSOCIATED COMPANIES One System in fact, leads practically every contrib- uting unit of supply to the firing line. At such a time, when the govern- ment is straining at its task and every industry is loyally contributing its energy, this national courier is con- stantly being used to call up the reserves. It is at the base of every contributing activity. The right of way must be given to the military for the direction of troops and to the government for the mar- shaling of endless supplies. To do this, and also make the telephone serve all other needs, both patriotic and private, all must economize.
