FOR WOMAN
(By United Press)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. — Politic
ians got it straight from headquarters
here that the Women’s I’arty nnd the
Congressional Union for Woman Suf
frage will probably amalgamate early
in March.
The Woman's Party is composed ex
clusively of woman voters. Merber
e.hip in it is limited to the women of
tlie twelve suffrage states and It has
grown so rapidly that It now boasts
a membership one thousand greater
than the Congressional Union's mem
bership in the thirty-six non-suffrage
states.
The proposed union of these two
important organizations is looked upon
by politicians as evidence that the
light for passage of the federal suf
frage amendment is to he pressed
harder from now on.
First intimation that the voting nnd
non-voting women of the country in
tend to weld themselves Into one or
ganization came when calls for a con
vention of the Congressional Union
and a convention of the Woman’s
i’arty were issued coincidently. These
conventions will he held jointly at the
national headquarters of the Congres
sional Union, March 1-4, inclusive.
Miss Alice Paul, head of the Con
gressional Union, and officials of the
Woman's Party, stated that the execu
tive committees of both the Union and
the Woman's I’arty would recommend
that the two associations he merged
under the name of the National Wom
an’s Party.
Supporting the women voters the
whole machinery of the Congressional
Union in the thirty-six non-suffrage
states will be used to bring pressure
to hear upon congress nnd the White
House. The Union officials are con
vinced that if President Wilson can
he induced to use his Influence with
his party the passage of the federal
amendment will be assured.
Plans for this joint campaign by the
women of the suffrage and non-suff
rage states will ho discussed and de
cided upon at the March convention
immediately after the amalgamation
of the two progressive suffrage or
ganizations is affirmed.
About 3,000 women are expected to
attend the convention, which promises
to he one of the most important suf
frage gatherings ever held in the
ewwntry. The convention will he held
at the national headquarters of the
Congressional Union here in the “lit
tie White House.” It will open with
a reception on the night of March 1,
and will terminate in a mighty demon
stration at the big White House on
March 14.
Miss Mabel Vernon, of Delaware,
is chairman of the committee on ar
rangements; Miss Helena Hill Weed,
of Connecticut, Is chairman of the
credentials committee, and Miss Kdlth
Goode, of Washington, has been made
chairman of the important committee
on hospitality.

DAWSON, N. M„ Feb. 10. — The
European war Is largely responsible
for the shortage of coal In the south
west, mining operators In this soft
coal district say. When the war
started hundreds of coal miners from
European countries returned to home
to fight.
The first exodus was not sufficient
ly large to cause a labor shortage, but
as the reserves were gradually called
to the colors, the mines were forced
to operate with only part of their
usual force. When every available
man was ordered back the shortage
was felt over all the New Mexico coal
district.
Mexicans were imported to take the
places of the foreign miner. They
proved unsatisfactory because they re
fused to stay longer than was neces
sary to acquire a little American gold
with which to livo in comparative lux
ury through the winter months. This
was most needed.
The Mexican miner above ground
proved to be splendid laborers. The)
were afraid of explosions, cave-inf
and other acciuentB, although the)
proved satisfactory workers In th<
copper and silver mines of their coun
try. They have a belief that coa
mining is more dangerous than "hart
rock” mining and refuse to work lonf
in the coal mines.

The egg is the worst shell game we
have ever been up against.
There was a time when eggs were
so common we trapped them In great
numbers and ate them while they
were still young. But that was be
fore they invented cold storage.
In those days the elder eggs were
utilized as an offensive — a very of
fensive weapon In the hands of dis
pleased theatregoers. Today the only
difference between the elder eggs and
the young ones Is ten cents a dozen.
Under present conditions it is fre
quently brought home to the poorer of
us that while dead men may tell no
tales, with eggs It’s different.
The egg today Is a nomad. It trav
els up and down the country and the
price list all the time. It is the am
bition of evory well born egg nowa
days to See America First.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10. — New York
City is rapidly replacing Liverpool as
the labor center for sailors shipping
on merchant vessels between this
country and Great Britain, according
to l)r. George Sidney Webster, sec
retary of The American Seamen's
Friend Society.
"The shifting of the labor center
for seamen is due,” he says, “to the
fact that many ships of both Ameri
can and British connections have
adopted the policy of signing their
men on for the forward and return
voyage at this port. Under present
conditions, men are more available on
this side, and there are almost no In
stances of desertion on the British side
In comparison with a considerable
number on the part of sailors shipping
to this country from belligerent na
tions.”

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 8. — The
recent statement made by Rd Maier,
former owner of the Vernon club, of
the Pacific coast baseball league, that
his team was deprived of the cham
pionship last season owing to alleged
machinations on the part of rival man
agers is not expected to result In any
action by league officials. Aside from
characterizing the charge as unfound
ed, no particular notice appears to
have been taken of Maler's statement
by Preslden Allan Baum or his asso
ciates.
Under the circumstances it Is gen
erally believed that, aside from fur
nishing some momentary winter gos
sip for the baseball enthusiasts, noth
ing more will be heard of the affair,
at least officially.
On the other hand, that Maier may
make some attempt at organizing a
state baseball league, Is not consid
ered out of the realm of possibility
That this might in a measure en
croach on the field of the present or
ganization is admitted, but at the same
time it is pointed out that with the
short time left before the new train
ing season begins, It appears unlikely
that the personnel of the teams and ]
the playing fields can be secured, at
least for this year.
According to Sir Cavlll. one time i
swimming champion, and now instruc
tor at the Olympic Club of San Fran- |
cisco, the field of entrants for the
mid-Paciflc swimming championships j
at Honolulu on February 19 repre- ,
sents as noted a galaxy of champions j
as has even been brought together in ]
competition. I
Cavlll is of the opinion that the i
swimmers who have entered from the (
United States have a splendid chance |
of lowering records and gives his rea- |
sons. ,
“The men have been swimming In s
practice over here in water that is ,
considerably colder than the water In |
which they will compete at the is
lands. With the warmer water, their, |
speed should be Increased. The only |
thing they will have to guard against
is staying In the water too long dur
ing the preliminary days. It is a .
great temptation to do so under the |
mild climatic conditions that exist ,
over there.”
Californians will watch the work of
both Koss and Hanger with special
interest, for they are both expected ,
to create new records.
According to news dispatches, play
ers of Carleton College football team
will desert that institution and re
gister at the University of Washing- (
ton next fall. Coach Hunt, who last
season coached the Carleton squad,
has been engaged by Washington to ,
succeed Gilmore Doble as football
coach and the action of the players j
has been Influenced by the departun
of their coach.
It is recalled that on two occasion*
when Doble transferred his coachinj
activities from one institution to an
other, he similarly was followed by th<
best players. It Is said when he ar
rived at the North Dakota Agrlcul
tural College from a Minneapolis In
stitutlon he brought with him nearly
the entire team of the latter school
Under the conference rules, how
ever, the players who come with Hunt
will be ineligible to play for the first
year they are at Washington.
Lectures, or "track talks" have
been started at Stanford University
by Coach “Rlc” Templeton. Former
stars of the cinder patch and field
will address the candidates for the
team, giving them the benefit of the
knowledge acquired in competition.
These lectures were Inaugurated last
season, and It Is said by the coach
that they have proved a decided suc
cess by imparting useful hints that
otherwise only can be acquired by
experience. It is required that the
team attend these lectures as punctili
ously as the regular workouts on the
field. The Stanford track schedule
of meets for the present season is the
leaviest In several years.

Perseverance
Without continuous effort nothing can be accomplished j
worth while. Mere thinking that we will do a particular thing
is not going to bring results.
A substantial savings account, which will make you finan
cially comfortable cannot be created by thinking about it. You
must make a start. Don’t wait until you have accumulated a
certain sum. Take a dollar to the bank and open a savings ac
count. Then persevere in your effort to make this account
grow. Save consistently. Put so much aside every week or
every two weeks or every month. Never let a given period
lapse. The bank will help you by adding compound interest
twice a year.
