UITERESTED SUFFRAGE LEADER ESTEEMED AS PERSONAL LEADER WRITES OF NOTE¬ WORTHY VIEWPOINTS.
(By Suffrage Contributor.) The Monday afternoon meeting of the Equal Franchise Club was full of enthusiasm and hope. Ueports from the fleld are especially cheering. The best elements ot society are swinging into line.
In many districts the "antls" have overplayed. Opposition often turns indifference into interest, and rouses in the intelligent mind the desire tor "fair play." in such cases the illogi¬ cal arguments of the "adversaries" do good service tor the suffrage cause. Xo one questions that women are the mothers of children and their nat¬ ural caretakers. No one questions that woman'a flrst duty is to her home and her babies—^It she haa any. When women in their own homes spun and wove and fashioned the garments of the world, their time was fairly well taken up. They did this work in ad¬ dition to household and family cares. But men cast envious eyes on those "jobs" and took them away from women and out ot the home. Then instead of building bridges and houses, tearing up the ground and making it productive and beautiful with tree and plant, they took to building petticoats, corsets and gar¬ ters and to tearing up muslin to port, held their regular meeting ail ornament women's undergarments the residence of Miss Rosa Heede on and other gear.

DRY YOUR DAMP CELLAR WITH CALCIUM CHLORIDE
25c a Pound
AT CHUBBUCK'S.
The most etflcient way to dry flamp cellars, basements, etc., is to use CALCIUM CHLORIDE. Put about a pound ot this salt In an old kettle or can that does not leak and wlll stand heating, and leave on the cellar floor. Tbe above amount is sufilcient tor a fairly large space.*'' The CALCIUM CHLORIDE rapidly absorbs the moisture trom the air, forming a solution in the kettle. This liquid B&ould not be thrown away, but the water driven off by strong heat. leaving the CALCIUM CHLORIDE ready tor use again. With care It will last a long time. CALCIUM CHLORIDE is not the same things as "chloride of lime."
NO GRADE CROSSING FATALITIES DURING PAST SUMMER MONTHS —85 AUTOS DRIVEN THROUGH GATES.

JAMAICA, N. y., Sept. 30.—Ex¬ actly $4,327.01 has been spent In the laat three months by the Long Island Railroad tor 176 newspapers adver¬ tisements In New York City, Brooklyn and on Long Island, to make people more careful In driving automobiles over grade crossings.
Twenty-flve crossing gates on Long Island have been painted with black and white stripes. Heavy gates made of telegraph poles have been placed at one of the crossings leading to bong Beach and another at Central Isllp. Similar gates wlll be placed at other crossings. Thirteen large signs, most ot them electrically lighted at night, have been displayed over the main roads on Long Island warning automobile drivers of the danger they run In going over railroad grade crossings without stopping to look tor trains.
The above repreeent some ot the things the Long Island Raliroad has been doing this past summer to cut dowo accidents at grade crossings, and It is true that no automobile accident at a grade crossing on Long Island has resulted in a fatality. But good luck has been on the aide oi many who took chances.
Since the flrst ot the year 85 auto¬ mobiles hare beeu driven through lowered crossing gates. In 60 of these cases the gates were broken by the machines. Tbese gates were low- red to warn drivers of automobiles ot approaching trains. J. A. McCrea, general manager ot the Long Island Railroad, said yesterday that his com¬ pany would continue the campaign against reckless driving and would try to think of some novel method of arresting public attention.
"We want the people to know Just what we have done," Mr.j McOrea satd, "so that they will not accuse the railroad of carelessness when some oi the reckless drivers are hit by trains. We have devoted much time and thought during the past summer to the question of how most effectively to prevent automobile
ceeds.
Aa tor the neglected children th^t was the hue and cry in the days ot our grandmothers. Women w'ent to missionary meetings and rostrum and press hurled anathemas at thom be¬ canse they made red flannel petticoats for Hottentot babies and neglected their own.
So you see it isnt' altogether suf-
* I frage, but the consuming desire ot
., , , ,,...,. 1 the disgruntled to take It out on some-
he number of accidents due to reck- ,,oj ^s to "the moral contamina-
L?.l„*!.'''l'".? Z^'uI^Yi i'.^Il.l'f'^.u!: tion of casting a ballot"—if It ia so
bad, so very demoralizing, why not
ported to us In the past summer, that the railroad alone will not be able to do very much. As loug as there are crossings—and certainly all the grade crossings on Long Island can¬ not be eliminated at a moment's no¬ tice—accidents will occur unless the State and township authorities take up the subject vigorously.
"We are going to continue our campaign, and I hope next summer we will be able to think of something sufflciently startling to arrest the at¬ tention of those reckless drivers with whom it seems utterly useless to rea¬ son."
