SUFFS AND ANTIS
WASHINGTON, March 11.—Promi
nent suffragettes from the Congress
Union today >gain besought the House
Judiciary committee to act favorably
on the pending resolution for a suf
frage constitutional amendment. De
spite the disinclination on the part
of the members of the committee
to regard the action favorably the
suffragettes were de'ermined to em
ploy their heaviest guns in the inter
ests of the cause. The suffrage for
women amendment advocates did not
have things al ltheir own way, a num
ber of women prominent in the fight
against votes for women, being on
hand to voice the same old argu
ment: ‘‘We don’t want to vote, so
don’t give it to those who do.” Among
the antis scheduled to appear were
Mrs. Arthur Dodge, Miss Alice Chit
tenden, of New York, and Mrs. Rob
ert Garrett, of Boltimore.
TEN THOUSAND FARM
ERS “AT SCHOOL”
5 ’
EAST LANSING, Mich., March 11.
—Ten thousand Michigan farms to
day are deserted by their owners and
managers, who are here to take a
week’s course in scientific agriculture
at the Michigtin Agricultural College.
The entire institution was turned ov
er to the farmers and their wives for
one-week course, with M. A. C. pro
fessors in charge. Special courses
for women, a no wfeature. attracted
a big enrollment. Instruction was
given the farmers' wives on such sub
jects as "Identification of Fabrics,”
“Detecting Adulteration,” "Care of
Children,” "Home Decorations” and
“Physical Exercises of Women.”

CATTLEMEN WANT
GOVERNMENT LAND
WASHINGTON, March 11.—Stock
raisers and ranchmen from many
Western states assembled here today
for the opening hearings before the
House Public Lands Committe on
various bills proposing a system of a
leasing government lands to livestock
owners. The hearings will continue
several days. Representative Fergu
sson, of New Mexico, was one of the
initial witnesses today, urging adop
tion of his bill to dispose of public
grazing lands under homestead laws.
Fergusson would establish “grazing
homestead” entries of not more than
640 acres each of unappropriated pub
lic land which are not deemed by the
Secretary of the Interior to be sus
ceptible to irrigation at reasonable
cost. Grazing homesteaders would be
required to fence and improve the j
land to the extent of $1.25 an acre, j
HOUSEWIVES
HOLD MEETING
_
CLEVELAND, March 11.—All the
devices known to modern scientific
housekeeping are on exhibition today
at Central Armory here being part
of the second annual American Wo
man’s Exposition. Contrast between
the housewife twenty-five years ago
and today is shown. How the vacuum
cleaner has replaced the broom: the
old method of breakfast preparation!
by the score of electrical appliances j
for preparing coffee toast and eggs
together with ironing an dheating
apparatus that has reduced the
housewife's labor fifty per. cent. The
exhibits will change daily. Women’s
work in all spheres is shown, cover
ing her labor in arts, crafts, science
and business.
Interior of Earth Seethes.
WASHINGTON.—The interior of I
the earth is hot, intensely hot, in the
opinion of Graove E. Gilbert, writing j
today in a bulletin on "Interpretation
of Anomalies of Gravity” for the Un-j
ited States Geological Survey.
“The inner earth is the inalienabl"
playground of the imagination,” he'
said. “Once it contained the forges
of blacksmith gods: or it was the
birthplace of our race, or the home
or prison of disembodied spirits. Lat
er Symmes hollowed from it a vast
habitable empire, concave like the
world of Koresh. Science now claims
exclusive title but holds it chiefly for
speculative purposes, and the freedom
of speculation recognizes but two lim
itations: the inner earth is dense and
it is rigid. It is my own view that
the inner part of the nucleus is not
merely hot. but very hot.”
