The reports of wrangling have been denied, but from what is published below it is clear that there has been very serious trouble in the "Silver Bullet" camp.

These denials are futile, and if it is necessary I can supply names, times, and places for countless in cidents that have helped to create confusion and dissension.

Kaye Don called on me early this morning and said that the Daily Express story had been read over to him on the Transatlantic telephone, and all be denies is that he has quarrelled with Mr. Louis Contalen, which statement, by the way, was not made by me.

"Two women have been Gover fors of States,” he continued, "The Secretaries of State in four coin- monwealths are women. There are women who are State Treasurers and · auditors, who are heads of l State labour department and wel| fare departments, members of State civil service commissions, State superintendents of public instruc tion, game wardens, and men bers of the administrative boards and commissions, handling such subjecta as varied as education, parole, charities, health, conservation, high- ways,"finance, prisons and labour. In the field of municipal govern- ment, offices have been held by women, from mayors of cities na large as Seattle and as small as Garber, Missouri. Women serve as members of city ecuncils and school boards, and sna treasurers, clerks, or justices, of villages, towns and cities.

The women's bureau of the. Federal Department of Labour has issued a bulletin listing the num ber of women accupying States offers throughout the nation. This bulletin lists something over eight hundred state offices now held hy. women, Five of the states failed to report the number of offices thus It is safe to say held by women, that there are nearly one thousand important state offices that have been won by women, either through election or by appointment,

half the States of the union and the increasing number of women in public office is evidence of their power gained by suffrage. What they have already accomplished is. an indication of what they will do. We look for even greater advanob in the next few years. Women un- doubtedly will insist that the laws of the Middle Ages regarding wo men that still remain in this coun try shall be wiped out. This can be done mest speedily by the pas unge of the equal rights nmendment aw before Congress. Women, of the United States are working for. this as the logical completion of the suffrage amendinant adopted ten years ago.

I do not want to deal too dras- tically with incidents that have come under my personal notice, or with statements voluntarily made to me, but if necessity arises I will tell a plain tale that will astound. Don will not take his car out to-day, and no one can say now when he will make the attempt; it may be to-morrow, or Sunday, or it may be some time next week. So far, when the beach has been ready the car has been out of ac tion, and viceversa.

Don is acutely distressed by it all and I must confess that I would be happier of mind if he called off the whole affair, or it the eity did it for him. He is na- turally a highly strung man, and
