CITY-WIDE INTEREST
IN SAVING OF WASTE
flii-hmonit Lnlcrn llfartllr Iota Spirit
??f \V??ie-*avln(f Campalcrn for j
>ur?n' Settlement.
Ur idents of this city are co-operat
ing In ?.n encouraging manner in the :
campaign to redeem waste that. Is be- i
I UK conducted by tiie social workers of '
?i'.e Nursfc' Settlement. S.\-eral thou
sand bats have betn distributed '
throughout thi city. peopl'- seem clad <
to ieoelve the bag1--, and are heard to ;
express approval of the aims and bene- j
Ilix of the campaign.
The sucoena of the campaign will ac
complish three purposes: a substantial
sum will be added to the support of the
Nurse*" Settlement; the danger of fire
iti the homes cf Richmond will be
greatly IcsHcned; and lastly. re?ider.t3
of Richmond will have become sup
porter* of national conservation by
havinc put Into use things which '
would have ultimately reached the
dump heap.
The habit of hoarding waste for pos
sible rernote u>"? i.? a Questionable
economy. In the present. times of
scarcity of raw materials an immediate
return to usage of all waste is most j
desirable and best serves the country's j
noeil.*. Most article*; saved for distant
future use are never utilised. and are
eventually thrown away. By disposing
of ai! useless articles immediately and
reconverting them Into useful article*.
;;i" costs of commodities are greatly
rt'f! u?'-e?i.
'i'he djrect benefit of the campaign. 1
a-; a mean? of raising funds for the !
soti.il workers of the Nurses' Settle
:i:ent is, of course, the most pertinent
feature. Th* social workers are in !
continual need of funds. The co?t of
upkeep of the settlement Ik much
g-.'.iu-r than ever before. anil tho
social workers fin-l It difficult to broad
en and e.r.large the scope of their en- ?
d?*avorp. as Is th*ir purpose.
Every one in the city i'?n help the
worker.-* to -r-rry on their social service
activities by filling a bn; with their
useless waste, material and having it
ready when the collector calls. Bugle
calls will announce the collectors when ,
they le^rin their house-to-house rounds.

sentatlves of the American Constitu
tional l-eajrtie. of which Clinrlos S.
f'alrohlM. Secretary of the Treasury
during Provident Cleveland's admin
istration. is president, to-day appeared
before tho Hou.?o Woman's Suffrage
Committee and urged that action on
the propored suffrage constitutional
amendment be deferred until after tho
war.
Through EvoritC P. Wheeler, of New
VorU, tho league argued that passatre
of the amendment ly Congrre?3 at this '
time and a campaign later for it* ratifi
cation would divert the attention of
American women from the necessity of
putting: forth every energy to help win :
the war.
Iir. louden Howe, of Buffalo, a mem- '
her of the 1eagu?s and fellow of the;
ltoyal Academy of Medicine, argued
that women were not (jualitlcd to vote.
He also presented statistics tending to1
show that the high rate of Infant mor
tality made it necessary for the wo- '
men to keep their places in the home
Instead of giving their attention to 1
politic!'.
