"All that is necessary is the avoidance of women who disgrace their mother's sex the averted glance, the omission of invitations to dance, and, above all, the derision of a hastily smothered smile would be quite sufficient.

Anthony amendment ratified, according to a resolution adopted at a luncheon-conference In the Hotel duPont yesterday afternoon. This appeal to tne State authorities will be made after an Intensive educational campaign on the suffrage issue. Formation of a committee to take charge of a campaign for ratification will also be undertaken by the suffragists. The following letter will be sent to a number of men and women In Delaware: "By the passage of the Susan B. Anthony amendment in Congress, last June, and without a time limit for ratification by the Legislatures of the several States, National Woman's Suffrage in America is practically an accomplished fact.

"An amendment to the Constitution of the United States becomes a law when three-fourths of our State Legislatures ratify it; consequently 36 State Legislatures must ratify the Susan B. Anthony amendment. "The justice, practicability and need of women's votes is so well recognized Un our country that ratification is being accomplished very rapidly. Up to date eleven State Legislatures have already ratified. "The National American Woman Suffrage Association is making a strong appeal to the women of our country to see ratification through.

"Delaware with its noble history and traditions cannot afford to fold her arms and accept the enfranchisement of her women at the hands of her sister States. "We feel confident that the influential and public spirited citizens of Delaware will at this juncture help the Delaware women.

This is one of a series of inter esting inquiries which Annie Payson Call puts to her readers in her "Power Through Repose." "Extreme nervous tension seems to be so peculiarly "I would like to make clear to you that I hope that the Democratic States will not resist the suffrage amendment thus compelling ratification solely by Republican States, and as you are a Democrat, I hope you will make the Democrats of Delaware see what a political blunder that would be. My interest in the matter is that I want the women of each State to feel that their own Legislature has enfranchised them and that they are free to join the party of their choice, and not to feel any other sense of obligation except the happy gratitude of having been promoted to political equality by their own men." A letter was read from Mrs. Albert McMahon, national organizer, who did such good work in Delaware last winter, stating that she would probably be here within a short time to help with the educational campaign. Activities at the State Fair in September occupied the attention of those from down the State as well as local members as one the important features of the campaign.

In health the rate of respiration for an adult is from 16 to 18 a minute, for babies 30 to 35 a minute, and 20 to 25 In little children. They are sometimes counted by the nurse laying her hand on the patient's chest. As the frequency of the respiration is partly under the control ot the will the patient Is likely to alter them if aware they are being counted. For this reason it Is better to keep the fingers on the pulse and count the respiration by watching the rise and fall of. the bedcovers while still counting the pulse.

Count the respiration for a whole minute, or a hall minute and record immediately. The character as well as the number of respirations should be noted; whether they are quiet and natural or labored; deep shallow, painful, regular and so forth. In certain forms of sickness, especially If the lungs or air passages are affected, the breathing not only becomes rapid but shallow and labored. This should be carefully charted by the nurse. At times In apoplexy there Is a peculiar breathing.

The inspiration is accompanied with a deep snoring sound. In the cheyne-stokes respiration the force and frequency of the breathing gradually increases to a certain point, and then gradually decreases until it ceases entirely for a short time, when the same thing is repeated. The doctor should be notified immediately of this condition.
