WOMAN'S PET1TIQH GROWS AS IT GOES Million Names Expected on Demand for Suffrage When It Reaches Capital. CAR TRAVELS 2500 MILES Envoy From Suffrage States De scribes Difficult Stages of Jour ney I'ndcrtaken Vnselfishly Aid of Cause. ' Br pat;a bakd field. KANSAS CITY K-an IVt -1 Tour weeks have elapsed since Margaret Anglin put into my hands the petition of voting women with Its hair million BiSrnatUrPR. Rkinir '1,1 err,. -1 ,r pass the Susan B. Anthony amendment ......aiiL.nains xne women ot the Na tion. This ceremony took place before Some SUIIH r,-:,v, in V. .. .. , V. i ,tw. i ... . . . . niuruini-iijc court of abundance in the exposition fwuunus at aan 'rancisco. Since then our little party, consist ing of Miss Maria Kfndberg, owner and driver of the car; Miss Ingeborg Kind- mcui., jiieuiianician. Dotn or Providence . i., and myself as envoy, have traveled some 2 500 miles in our caso- line flight across country. . We have tumbled over the Sierras and the Rockies, swept through the deserts and rolled over the prairies. We have been lost a whole night in the Nevada desert; have been caught in a blinding Wyom ing snow storm and stuck for several uusen Hours in a Kansas mudhole. Petitloa Remains Unharmed. tiut the petition is unharmed. Safe and unmolested a large part of its bulk lies under the seat in the car. The rest has gone on to Washington. There were 503,000 names on It when we left. I think there will be 1,000,000 before we arrive in Washington, so strong and a -"s ai'ini we meet every where. our car, decorated with a banner which fays, "we demand an amendment to the Constitution of the United States eiiLiKncmsing women, and the - an nouncement that 4,000,000 women now vote creates a stir In all the hamlets ana towns through which we pass. Women run to the window to see it go by and we often find people waiting us ong toe way. It is an murVi . i i i n l, ; i - m -V VKIIIIV VI feWl Irage in National rather than state irriius. it is so much nner to think of women whn hnvi tt,n v, 1 1 .v : . . ... ."nui tvuintiig for those who haven't it, rather than iui memseives. It is altogether a woman's mission I have Keprt Mia I." i .. , a, ' , t- udnuie a car wth unwearying dexterity all these miles. I have seen Miss Kindstedt grease tne grease cups and oil the engine and tighten spark plugs, not to emiuu uimiiging tires and doing all sorts of mysterious things beneath the car in a way to bring loud trousered applause. Only once we got into trouble the time we took a man chauffeur from Ely.: New, to Salt Lake City. He lost us that 'memorable night in the desert. We intend from now on to keep it strictly a woman's affair. Problem Settled la Wyoming. Now we have passed through Wyoming. That state was born with equal suffrage a part of its make-irp. The people there do not think of dis cussing it as a problem or a specula tion. The idea of woman's equality in all things has become an assimilated part of the social body. The women there join in this movement to hand on the right to other women as nat urally as they would aid in any just undertaking. They do not understand J y. th.e is the need for a suffrage Usht. Our men don't question it." thev eay. Simple, splendid women, comrades to their husbands and helpers in all things! The Governor's wife told me that in her lonely life on the parairie she had taught her children all they knew, not only "to read and write but to sit straight in a saddle, to s'oot straight and to depend on themselves" Yet men still wonder if suffrage will make women less devoted mothers!

OREGON AGRICfLTURAL COI- I.KGE, Corvallis. Nov. 4. (Special.) Business is taking r,n upward trend." s-aid Frank H. Storm, lecturer for the collegiate department of the Babson Statistical Service, speaking before the students in commerce on the factors that influence fluctuations. He said that there would be good business con ditions until the close of the war when the period of readjustment would cause another period of uncertainty. Twenty-four factors are recognized as influencing business by the Babson service and to each is assigned a nu merical value and each is plotted to scale on a chart. Study of this chart covering a period of years shows that periods of prosperity arc followed by equally long periods of depression. WAR TO ENRICH AMERICA Industry and Art Expected to Be De veloped From Struggle. WASHINGTON. Oct. 31. "It seems to me that the outstanding feature of the war is that at the end of the war Amer ica will stand without i rival as the richest nation in., the .world., the.onir really great nation, whose wonderful resources will remain unimpaired and. which hag no been rtbed of- millions oi its best youth, said Dr. J. I White, of St. Iuis. at the Raleigh. "The centers of power will be in America; the financial capital of the world will no longer be London, but New York,' and It Is likely that here the great steamship lines will be owned, if our capitalists receive the right kind of encouragement from the Government. It is our greatest oppor tunity to re-establish the American merchant marine. "The streams of European immigra tion will largely ceaee, because Europe will need her own boys and girls and will hold them. Our own population will become consolidated txl thorough ly American. "We may not Increase in numbers so rapidly as we have been doins. but our population will be an American horn and American-educated popula tion. The twentieth century will be the great American century, in which American art and literature and Amer ican business will lead the world." WAR 'PEEPa PROPOSED TWO YEARS' PRELIMINARY EDU CATION BEING CONSIDERED. PIa Would Double Capacity of Acade mies ad Increase Hiiabtr of Partly Trained Men. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Nov." 4 Neither the President nor the Secretary of War Intends to recommend the establishment of a second West Point Military Academy in the West, as suggested some months ago by ex-President Taft. On the con trary, the present Administration dis approves that plan. There is under consideration, how ever, a second plan which may give to the West a big military institution for the training of young men for Army commissions. This plan looks to the establishment of one or more, prob ably two, military preparatory schools, where young men aspiring to enter West Point or Annapolis may receive two years' instruction, similar to th first and second year courses at West t-oint and Annapolis. Graduate; from these schools, it is proposed, shall be eligible for appointment to West Point or Annapolis, as they may elect, and if appointed, will take a two-year finishing course. The proponents of this scheme point out that it will automatically double the capacity of both the West Point and Annapolis academies and vet xvMl permit the Government to graduate its cadets and midshipmen with the same education they are receiving un der the present plan. By the establishment of one pre paratory school in the West and an other in the East a' large number of young men wishing to receive military education can get the two-year train ing, with the accompanying education. regardless of whether they later enter west t-oint or Annapolis. DRAINAGE SURVEY IS DONE Engineer lor Federal Project at Salem Leaves for Salt Lake. SALe5jc, Nov. 4. (Special.)

BILL TO GO TO CONGRESS Mr." Lewis, of Oregon State Offi cial Family, Intimated Dispute Only Is In Way of Enterprise. Xeed Is Declared Great. CHICAGO. Nov. 4. A Federal law which would eliminate existing dis putes and open the way for the im mediate construction of a $50,000,000 project on the Columbia River In Ore gon for the manufacture of nitrates. used in the manufacture of explosives is to toe drafted by a committee ap pointed by the American Society of t-ivil Engineers, which met here today for a week's session. Such a project in Oregon 5s being contemplated and is being held up solely because of uncertainty as to title to water power, according to John H. Lewis, State Engineer of Oregon, who Is attending the meeting. The plan of tne committee is to draft a bill to be presented to Congress, whidh woul( clear that and other water-power titles. Several Schemes Tied Vp. Several irrigation schemes in the West, the proposed control of Missis sippi River floods by the establishment of storage dams at headwaters and determination of responsibility in pre venting pollution of streams by empty ing city sewage into tnem are some or tne other problems which also are tied up and Which led the engineering Dooy to taite action. Ihe United States is dependent for its nitrate stores, essentia in the manu facture of explosives, on Chile," said Mr. Lewis. "The supplies on hand probate! y would last not more than 30 days in actual warfare. Control of tne seas by a belligerent power would shut us off completely from our source of supply and leave us helpless until means to replenish it could be found. ' Xttra-ea Drawn From Aim. "There is a process of drawing nitrogen from the air by burning the air in powerful electric furnaces. Em ployment of this process is all that has saved Germany from ammunition famine. No plant for using the pro cess on a commercial scale exists in the United States. A $50,000,000 project on the Columbia River, which would sup ply National demands is held up solely because of uncertainty as to title to water power. "The export duties we pay Chile for nitrates within a few years would defray the cost of a plant of our own. But, as I say, contention over the title to water power has thus far balked all efforts to realize the project." F. H. Newell, ex-director of the United States Reclamation Service, now professor of civil engineering at the University of Illinois, 1s chairman of the committee. The other members are: Charles W. Comstock, Colorado ex-State Engineer; John H. Lewis, Ore gon State Kngineer; Charles E. Marx, of Leland Stanford University, and Gardner S. Williams, of Ann Arbor, Mich., president and vice-presrdent re spectively of the Engineering Society; W. C. Hoad, professor of sanitary engi neering at the University of Michigan; Clemens Herschel, of New York, and Robert E. Horton. of Albany, N. Y. Finn Is Held for Trial. ASTORIA, Or., Nov. 4. (Special.)

SUGGESTIONS WOMEN Who Are "Just Ready to Drop" When you are "just ready to drop," when you feel so weak that you -can hardly drag yourself about and be cause you have not slept ' well, you get up as tired-out next morning '. as when you went to bed. you need help. You can get it just as Mrs. Maxwell did. She says: "I keep house for my little family of three, and became completely run down. I was weak, nervous and could not sleep; finally I was unable to do my housework. A friend asked me to try Vinol. I did so and improved rapidly. It toned up my system, I re gained my strength, am no longer nervous, sleep well, and do all my housework." Mrs. J. C. Maxwell, Mont gomery, Ala. There is no secret about Vinol.. It owes its success to the medicinal ex tractives of fresh cod livers, tonic iron and beef peptone, the oldest and most famous body-building and strength creating tonics. So many letters like the above are continually coming to our attention that we freely offer to return 'the money paid for Vinol in every casei where it rails to give satisfaction. For sale by the Owl Drug Co.. Portland. Or Adv. Goffee Trade Secrets It has been a mystery to many people how we can sell such superior coffees as GERMAN-AMERICAN and ROYAL CLUB at a lower pricethan other brands. It's no mystery at all when the facts are known. Here is the secret: We give YOU the benefit of the low cost to us. About one year ago coffee growers found many European markets closed to export trade. This caused a surplus, which was offered American man ufacturers at a great saving. In the face of this reduced cost most coffee roasters maintained original retail prices and pocketed the increased profits. Lang & Co. were the only coffee roasters on the Pacific Coast who gave the public the benefit by reducing prices and increasing quality. Why pay the roaster an increased profit when YOU can bank this saving yourself? Thousands who have found satisfaction in ROYAL CLUB at 35c and GERMAN-AMERICAN at 30c realize the extravagance of paying more. Ask your grocer. Lang & Company The "Royal Club?'
